The Eurovision Song Contest 1977 was the 22nd edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 7 May 1977 at the Wembley Conference Centre in London, United Kingdom, and presented by Angela Rippon. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), who staged the event after winning the 1976 contest for the United Kingdom with the song "Save Your Kisses for Me" by Brotherhood of Man. It was the first time the event took place in the month of May since the first contest in 1956.
Broadcasters from eighteen countries participated in the contest; Sweden returned after its absence from the previous edition, while Yugoslavia decided not to enter.
