The 1975–76 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the sixth staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship began on 2 November 1975 and ended on 14 March 1976.

St. Finbarr's of Cork were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten by Seandún in the quarter-final of the Cork County Championship.

On 14 March 1976, James Stephens won the championship after 2-10 to 2-04 defeat of Blackrock in the All-Ireland final at Croke Park. This was their first ever championship title.
