The 4th Gulf Cup (Arabic: دورة كأس الخليج العربي الرابعة‎‎) was the fourth edition of the Gulf Cup. The tournament was held in Doha, Qatar and was won by three-time defending champions Kuwait. The tournament took place between 26 March and 15 April 1976.[1] All matches were played at the Khalifa Sports City Stadium.

Iraq took part in the competition for the first time. Both Iraq and Kuwait finished level on points and goal difference in the round-robin group stage; thus, a play-off final was held to determine the champion. Kuwait defeated Iraq 4–2 in the final to win their fourth title in a row.[2]

The number of teams was increased from six to seven and the format of the competition was changed back to the original format used in 1970 and 1972.
