1977 American Samoan gubernatorial election

Gubernatorial elections were held in American Samoa on 8 November 1977, with a run-off between the top two candidates on 22 November. Peter Tali Coleman was elected with 56% of the vote in the second round.

This election was the first gubernatorial election ever to be held in American Sāmoa. It featured multiple two-person tickets for governor and lieutenant governor. The leading slates were Peter Coleman–Tufele Liʻamatua; A. P. Lutali–Fofo I. F. Sunia; and A. U. Fuimaono–Lutu Tenari. Because victory required an absolute majority, Coleman’s first-round plurality (40.2%) triggered a runoff, which he won. He assumed office on January 3, 1978, as the territory’s first elected governor.
