Homenaje a Salvador Lutteroth (1996) (Spanish for "Homage to Salvador Lutteroth") was a professional wrestling supercard show event, scripted and produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; "World Wrestling Council"). The Homenaje show took place on March 22, 1996 in CMLL's main venue, Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico. The event was to honor and remember CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth, who died in March 1987. The annual March event would later be renamed Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to two legends") as CMLL honored both Lutteroth and another retired or deceased wrestler. With the show, CMLL introduced an annual supercard show in March to their show schedule.

The main event was a best two-out-of-three falls match where Rambo defeated El Brazo. The match was held under Lucha de Apuestas rules, which meant that both men their hair on the outcome of the match and forced EL Brazo to be shaved bald because he lost. The show also featured a Six-man "Lucha Libre rules" tag team match for the CMLL World Trios Championship as champions Los Chacales ("The Jackals"; Bestia Salvaje, Emilio Charles Jr. and Sangre Chicana) lost the championship to Dos Caras, Héctor Garza and La Fiera. On the under card CMLL held the Torneo de Alto Rendimiento ("High Performance Tournament") an eight man torneo cibernetico elimination match won by Atlantis, as well as at least one additional match.
