The 1877 St Kilda Football Club season was the inaugural season in the club's history competing in the 1877 VFA season.

Background

The 1877 Victorian Football Association season was the first in which the Australian rules football competition in Victoria was run under a properly constituted administrative body; which was formed with the view to governing the sport via a collective body, made up of delegates representing the clubs.

The association was made up of five inaugural metropolitan senior clubs (St Kilda being one of them), and a number of provincial senior teams from across the state.
