In 1976, a number of things set in or relevant to the Doctor Who universe were released or published.

- 14 February - The Seeds of Doom Part Three debuted on BBC1.
- 19 February - Doctor Who and the Dinosaur Invasion and Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet were first published, the latter being the first Target Books-commissioned novelisation of a solo First Doctor story (the initial three published in 1973 were in fact reprints of novels first published in the mid-1960s).
