The 1977 Hardie-Ferodo 1000 was the 18th running of the Bathurst 1000 touring car race. It was held on 2 October 1977 at the Mount Panorama Circuit just outside Bathurst. The race was open to cars eligible to the locally developed CAMS Group C touring car regulations with three engine capacity based classes.
The race was won by Allan Moffat for a record-equalling fourth time with Belgian endurance race legend Jacky Ickx. They finished in side-by-side formation with the Moffat Ford Dealers team's second Ford Falcon driver by Colin Bond and Alan Hamilton in the most dominant team performance seen at the race. Third was the first of the Holden Toranas, a privateer entry driven by Peter Janson and Australian Formula 1 driver Larry Perkins.
Two-time Indianapolis 500 champion Johnny Rutherford made his only start in this race alongside his teammate Janet Guthrie, a fellow USAC Marlboro Championship Trail driver.
