The 1977 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the North Melbourne Football Club and the Collingwood Football Club, held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on 24 September. It was the the 81st annual Grand Final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1977 VFL season. The game ended in a draw, leading to a replay between the two teams one week later, on 1 October 1977 at the same venue. North Melbourne won the replay by a margin of 27 points, marking that club's second premiership win.

The first, attended by spectators, was was just the second grand final in history to be drawn, the other being the 1948 VFL Grand Final. Collingwood lead by 27 points at three quarter time, helped by North Melbourne's inaccuracy which saw them kick 13 successive behinds at one point. Arnold Briedis had a match to forget, kicking 0-7 for the match. In the dying minutes of the game, two goals to Phil Baker gave North the lead but they couldn't hold on, Ross Dunne marked directly in front for Collingwood and goaled with just 40 seconds remaining to level the scores.^[1]

The replay was attended by 98,366 spectators and North Melbourne were victors by 27 points, becoming premiers for just the second time in the club's history. This time North were in front throughout the match, with Briedis managing to turn things around and kick five goals. Phil Manassa scored a memorable goal, running down the wing from the half-back line, bouncing the ball four times.^[2] This goal has since been commemorated by the AFL by awarding the Phil Manassa Medal to the winner of each year's Goal of the Year.
