The second Guildford Borough Council full-council elections were held on 6 May 1976.
The Conservatives retained control of the council with an increased majority, winning 35 of the 45 seats.
There had been a slight degree of rewarding in the run up to the 1973 council election.
The Conservatives increased their number of councillors from 29 to 35, a figure which up to and including 2011 still remained a record for any party in a full Guildford Borough Council election.
The Conservatives gained 1 seat from an Independent in Tillingbourne (previously known as Aldbury, Shere and St Martha's) and made 2 gains as a result of an increase in the number of councillors representing the Stoughton and Worplesdon wards.
