OTI Festival 1977 (Spanish: Sexto Gran Premio de la Canción Iberoamericana, Portuguese: Sexto Grande Prêmio da Canção Ibero-Americana) was the sixth edition of the OTI Festival, held on 12 November 1977 at the auditorium of the Centro Cultural de la Villa de Madrid in Madrid, Spain, and presented by Mari Cruz Soriano and Miguel de los Santos. It was organised by the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI) and host broadcaster Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE), who staged the event after winning the 1976 festival for Spain with the song "Canta cigarra" by María Ostiz.

Broadcasters from twenty-one countries participated in the festival, setting a new record for the number of participating entries. The winner was the song "Quincho Barrilete" performed by Eduardo "Guayo" González representing Nicaragua.
