The 1975–76 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship was the sixth staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1970-71.
University College Dublin were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after conceding a walkover to St. Vincent's in the Dublin County Championship.
On 14 March 1976, St. Vincent's won the championship following a 4-10 to 0-05 defeat of Roscommon Gaels in the All-Ireland final at O'Moore Park. It was their first ever championship title.
