New York State Route 76 (NY 76) is located entirely within Chautauqua County, New York, in the United States. It runs north–south from NY 474 in the hamlet of North Clymer in the town of Clymer at its southern end to NY 5 along the Lake Erie shoreline in the town of Ripley. It crosses both the Southern Tier Expressway (Interstate 86 and NY 17) and the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90), although it does not connect to the latter.

NY 76 begins at a fork in the road with NY 474 in the hamlet of North Clymer within the town of Clymer. Intersecting with Church Street, a short connector between both roads, NY 76 bends to the north and out of North Clymer. The route soon bends to the northwest as a two-lane rural road, intersecting with the eastern terminus of County Route 4 (CR 4; Alder Bottom Road) after turning north into the town of Sherman. The route continues northward through the rural parts of Sherman, passing to the far east of Slab City, before turning northeastward and into the village of Sherman. During this northwestern bend, NY 76 enters interchange 6 of I-86 and NY 17 before entering the downtown portion of the village. In downtown Sherman, NY 76 gains the moniker of Osborne Street until the intersection with Mill Street, where it changes to Franklin Street. A short stint from the name change is all of Franklin Street, before NY 76 intersects with NY 430 (Main Street). The two routes head westward on a short concurrency, before NY 76 turns northwestward on Kipp Street, leaving the village of Sherman.
