De 1977 Austrian Grand Prix werd gewonnnen door Alan Jones van Shadow. Ondanks pole positie getrained te hebben in Austria, kon Niki Lauda dit niet omzetten in een overwinning.
De race in Austria was ronde 12 van 17 van het 1977 seizoen.
The 1977 Austrian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at the Österreichring on August 14, 1977. It was the tenth Austrian Grand Prix since the race was first held in 1963. It was held over 54 laps of the six kilometre venue for a race distance of 320 kilometres. Since the 1976 a chicane called "Hella-Licht" had been added to the track, replacing the very fast Vost-Hugel Kurve.
The race saw the first Formula One victory of future World Champion Alan Jones. The Australian driver took his Shadow DN8 to a twenty-second victory over local hero Niki Lauda in his Ferrari 312T2. It would be the only race victory for Shadow Racing Cars during its eight-year Formula One history. Third was Hans Joachim Stuck in his Brabham BT45B.
