State Route 77 (SR 77) is a 253.93-mile (408.66-kilometre) long state highway in Arizona that traverses much of the state's length, stretching from its southern terminus at a junction with I-10 in Tucson to its northern terminus with BIA Route 6 at the Navajo Nation boundary just north of I-40.

Between Tucson and the Navajo Nation, SR 77 passes through Oro Valley, Oracle, Mammoth, Winkelman, Globe, Show Low, Snowflake and Holbrook, as well as passing through the Fort Apache Indian Reservation and a tiny corner of the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. Between Globe and Show Low, SR 77 runs entirely concurrent with US 60. When it was originally commissioned in 1930, SR 77 only traversed the route between McNary and Holbrook. Between 1938 and 1992, the route was slowly re-routed and extended in increments, to its current termini in Tucson and at the Navajo Nation boundary.
