The M876 is a motorway in Central Scotland. Despite its 3-digit number, it provides a vital east-west link in Scotland linking Fife with the Glasgow and Cumbernauld areas, forming a link to the Kincardine Bridge and Clackmannanshire Bridge across the Forth.
The M876 begins at a junction with the M80 and includes a section multiplexed with the M9. This is one of only three multiplexes between two motorways in Great Britain.
