The women's individual archery event at the 1976 Summer Olympics was part of the archery programme. The event consisted of a double FITA round.

The highest score for each arrow was 10 points, giving a possible maximum of 2880 points. 16 nations sent 27 athletes to the women's competition in archery.[1]
