1975–76 Four Hills Tournament

The 24th edition of the annual Four Hills Tournament was won by East German Jochen Danneberg.

For the tenth time, three out of the four events were won by the same athlete. However, for the fourth time within six years, it was not enough to win the Tournament: Toni Innauer only placed 24th in Innsbruck and lost too much ground to his competitors.
