Rankings from AP Poll

The 1975–76 Michigan State Spartans men's basketball team represented Michigan State University in the 1975–75 NCAA Division I men's basketball season as members of the Big Ten Conference. They played their home games at Jenison Fieldhouse in East Lansing, Michigan and were coached by Gus Ganakas in his seventh and final year as head coach of the Spartans. MSU finished the season 14–13, 10–8 in Big Ten play to finish in fourth place.

Ganakas was fired as head coach after the season due, in part to the walk-out of black players in 1975 and as part of an athletic department purge. Ganakas would continue as an assistant athletic director for MSU until 1998.

The Spartans finished the 1974–75 season 17–9, 10–8 in Big Ten play to finish in fifth place.
