On May 25, 1976, an election was held in Portland, Oregon, to elect the mayor. Incumbent mayor Neil Goldschmidt won reelection, defeating city commissioner Frank Ivancie.
Portland uses a nonpartisan system for local elections, in which all voters are eligible to participate. All candidates are listed on the ballot without any political party affiliation.
All candidates meeting the qualifications competed in a blanket primary election on May 25, 1976. Because Goldschmidt received an absolute majority of the vote in the primary election, no run-off election was held.
