The '''1977 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships''' (''1977 WJHC'') were held between December 22, 1976 and January 2, 1977 in [[Banská Bystrica]] and [[Zvolen]], [[Czechoslovakia]].
The [[Soviet Union]] won the tournament with a perfect 7–0 record.<ref>{{cite web |title=1977 World Junior Championship |publisher=Hockey Canada |url=http://www.hockeycanada.ca/1/8/8/2/index1.shtml |accessdate=2008-05-29}}</ref>
This was the fourth edition of the [[IIHF World U20 Championship]], but the '''''first''''' to be included in official IIHF records.<ref>{{cite web |title=IIHF World U20 Championships |publisher=IIHF |url=http://www.iihf.com/iihf-home/history/all-medallists/u20.html |accessdate=2008-05-29}}</ref>
Canada was represented by a club team, the St. Catharines Fincups (as the 1976 Memorial Cup champions), but the other seven nations were represented by teams of their top under-20 players.<ref>{{cite web |title=IIHF World Junior Championship History |publisher=Hockey Canada |url=http://www.hockeycanada.ca/3/5/6/7/index1.shtml |accessdate=2008-05-29}}</ref>
The tournament was expanded to eight teams, with [[West Germany]] and [[Poland]] making their debut.

==Final standings==
The tournament was a round-robin format, with each team playing each of the other seven teams once each.
