A Constitutional Convention election was held in the United States Virgin Islands on 14 June 1977.

The Constitutional Council wrote and then unanimously adopted a draft constitution which provided for an elected governor and treasurer, a 17-seat Legislature, a local justice system and protections for Virgin Islander culture.

The draft constitution was rejected by the voters in the referendum in 1979.
