The 1777 Virginia gubernatorial election was scheduled to be held on May 29, 1777 during the American Revolutionary War. It was the second gubernatorial election of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The election was to be conducted in a joint session of the Virginia General Assembly; however, Patrick Henry was the only candidate nominated. By a joint resolution of the Senate and House of Delegates, balloting was dispensed with and Henry was declared re-elected by acclamation.{{cite book |title=Journal of the House of Delegates of the Commonwealth of Virginia; Begun and Held in the City of Williamsburg, on Monday, the Fifth Day of May, in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy-Seven |date=1827 |location=Richmond |page=37 |url=https://archive.org/details/journalofhouseof17771780virg/mode/2up}}
