The 1976 Cal Poly Mustangs football team represented California Polytechnic State University during the 1976 NCAA Division II football season.
Cal Poly competed in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). The CCAA lost two of its five members before the 1976 season. UC Riverside discontinued football after the 1975 season. Cal State Los Angeles dropped down to a lower level of competition after the 1975 season. The CCAA continued with just the three teams until the conference stopped supporting football after the 1981 season.
The Mustangs were led by ninth-year head coach Joe Harper and played home games at Mustang Stadium in San Luis Obispo, California. They finished the regular season as champion of the CCAA, starting another run of five consecutive conference championships. They had also accomplished this from 1969 to 1973. The team finished with a record of seven wins, one loss and one tie (7–1–1, 2–0 CCAA).
