1977 U.S. Clay Court Championships – Men's Doubles

Brian Gottfried and Raúl Ramírez were the defending champions, but they played in the Buckeye Classic this year.[1] Patricio Cornejo and Jaime Fillol claimed the title following victory over Dick Crealy and Cliff Letcher in the final. Crealy and Letcher were denied their prize money because their late appearance had caused the final to be delayed.[2]
