The 1977 European Touring Car Championship was the 15th season of the European Touring Car Championship. The championship was run to all five Production Car categories of FIA's Appendix J, from Group 1 up to and including Group 5. Dieter Quester was the overall winner at the wheel of a BMW 3.0 CSL; BMW won Group 5, Group 3, and the lightly contested Group 4 as well. European Touring Car racing was in its best form since before the 1973 oil crisis, with some new teams including Jaguar (fielding a factory effort), an official return of Alpina, and mostly full starting grids.
