The 1976 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship was the 45th staging of the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament for boys under 18.

Kerry entered the championship as defending champions; however, they were defeated by Cork in the Munster final.

On 26 September 1976, Galway won the championship following a 1–10 to 0–6 defeat of Cork in the All-Ireland final. This was their fourth All-Ireland title overall and their first in six championship seasons.[1]
