Papyrus 77 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by 77, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew. The surviving texts of Matthew are verses 23:30-39. 77 is written in an elegant hand. The manuscript palaeographically has been assigned a date anywhere from the middle 2nd century to the early 3rd century.

According to Comfort together with Papyrus 103 probably belongs to the same codex.

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland ascribed it as a “at least normal text”, and placed it in Category I.77 has the closest affinity with Codex Sinaiticus.
