The 1976 World Rally Championship was the fourth season of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) World Rally Championship (WRC).
10 events were included on the schedule, as the series revisited the same locations as the previous season.
The only change in the schedule was a slight shuffle in order, with Portugal being moved up to March from July.
Lancia again repeated its title, with the Stratos HF accumulating another four rally wins, and scoring more than twice as many points as its nearest competitor, Opel.
Lancia's dynasty, however, would not continue, as this was to be the last WRC title for the Stratos.
