''Spirit Of 76'' is a PhysicalPinballTable released by Creator/{{Gottlieb}}. It was designed by Wayne Neyens and Creator/EdKrynski, illustrated by Creator/GordonMorison, and released at the beginning of 1976 to celebrate the United States Bicentennial. It would eventually become one of Gottlieb's most popular pinball games, with over ten thousand tables manufactured.

Appropriate for a celebration of the 200th birthday of the United States, ''Spirit Of 76'' is awash in patriotic fervor, from the red, white, and blue colors; stars and stripes everywhere; and images contrasting America's pioneers and their covered wagons with astronauts and their spaceships. Hitting the "1776" and "1976" drop targets enables double bonuses, with opportunities to stack bonuses and earn specials (free games).
