The 476th Tactical Fighter Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It flew North American F-100 Super Sabre and Lockheed F-104 Starfighter fighters at George Air Force Base, California from October 1957 until 1968, when moved to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, where was to fly McDonnell F-4 Phantom IIs, but did not become operational before inactivating in March 1969.

The squadron deployed to Taiwan in 1968 to reinforce the Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) air defense mission. The squadron returned to the United States without aircraft in July 1968, the F-104Cs remaining in Taiwan and were sold to the ROCAF. The squadron planned to be re-equipped with McDonnell F-4C Phantom IIs as part of the phaseout of the F-104 from TAC, however the squadron was placed in nonoperational status and its personnel were transferred to the new 4535th Combat Crew Training Squadron.

It was consolidated in September 1985 with the 476th Bombardment Squadron, which served as a medium bomber training unit from 1942 to 1944, when it was disbanded in a reorganization of Army Air Forces training units, as the 476th Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron, but the consolidated squadron has not been active.
