Ubuntu 16.04 only gives me the following options to use as a compose key (under System Settings > Keyboard > Typing):
- Disabled
- Right Alt
- Right Ctrl
- Right Win
- Left Ctrl
- Menu
- Caps Lock
Is there any way I could use Left Alt as my compose key (Menu is not it apparently)?

See askubuntu.com/questions/957513/… and ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2416537. I guess you can use the same steps to set the key of your choice as the compose key.

I don't think so. XKB provides a few more options; you can view them by running this command:
cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst | grep compose
But Left Alt is not one of them.
Edit:
There may be a xmodmap way to fix it; please see DK Bose's comments.
