The 1876 Connecticut lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on April 3, 1876, to elect the lieutenant governor of Connecticut. Incumbent Democratic lieutenant governor George G. Sill won re-election against Republican nominee Frederick J. Kingsbury, Greenback nominee and former United States Senator from Connecticut Francis Gillette and Prohibition nominee Jesse G. Baldwin. This was the last lieutenant gubernatorial election held in April due to a constitutional amendment moving the election schedule to November and lengthened terms to two years.
