The women's coxed four competition at the 1976 Summer Olympics took place at Notre Dame Island Olympic Basin, Canada.^[1] It was the first time the event was contested for women.^[1]

The competition consisted of two main rounds (heats and finals) as well as a repechage. The 8 boats were divided into two heats for the first round, with 4 boats in each heat. The winner of each heat advanced directly to the "A" final (1st through 6th place). The remaining 6 boats were placed in the repechage. A single repechage heat was held. The top 4 boats in the repechage went to the "A" final as well. The remaining 2 boats (5th and 6th place in the repechage) competed in the "B" final for 7th and 8th place.^[2]

All races were over a 1000 metre course.
