Spain took part in the Eurovision Song Contest 1976. The country was represented by Braulio with the song "Sobran las palabras". The entry was selected through a national final. It was the first national final organized by TVE since 1971 and the last one until 2000.
The national final took place at TVE's studios in Madrid, hosted by Pilar Cañada and Jana Escribano. It consisted of three shows: the first fourteen songs were presented on 8 February 1976, the other fourteen songs on 15 February, and the final results were revealed on 28 February.
