1977 Australian Open (January) – Women's doubles

The 1977 Australian Open (January) women's doubles tournament was one of two women's doubles events held during the 1977 Australian Open, due to a scheduling change that resulted in two tournaments being held in the same calendar year. This particular tournament was played on grass courts at the Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club in Melbourne, Australia.

The women's doubles title was won by Dianne Fromholtz and Helen Gourlay Cawley. They defeated Kerry Reid and Betsy Nagelsen in the final. The tournament formed part of the 1977 Virginia Slims Circuit, a precursor to the modern WTA Tour. The specific details of the draw size and prize money are often not readily available in historical records for these early tournaments.
