The Gauliga Hessen 1935/36 was the third season of the Gauliga Hessen in football. Last year's champions FC Hanau 93 and Borussia Fulda pulled away from the field early on and fought an exciting battle for the championship right up to the last match day, which the defending champion finally secured with a 3: 1 over Rothenditmold on the final day and thus one point ahead of the final standings . As in the previous year, Hanau 93 did not get beyond the preliminary round in the final round of the German championship . The relegation ranks were occupied by SV Kurhessen Kassel and SV 06 Bad Nauheim , KEWA Wachenbuchen and SpVgg Niederzwehren rose from the district classes for the 1936/37 round .
