Adriano Panatta defeated Harold Solomon in the final, 6–1, 6–4, 4–6, 7–6^(7–3) to win the men's singles tennis title at the 1976 French Open.^[1] It was his first and only major singles title. Panatta became the first man in the Open Era to win the French Open after saving a match point en route, doing so against Pavel Huťka in the first round.

Björn Borg was the two-time defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Panatta. This was just his second and last defeat at the French Open, both delivered by Panatta.^[2]

Panatta remained the only Italian man to win in Grand Slam until Jannik Sinner at the 2024 Australian Open.
