The AL-77 (Laiatanese: Автоматическая винтовка Лукашенко 1977 года, lit. "Lukashenko's automatic rifle of 1977") is a 7.62mm assault rifle designed by Pyotr Lukashenko. It is a common modernized variant of the AL-52 rifle developed in the 1950s. The AL-77 was introduced into the Laiatanese Defense Forces in 1977, the rifle becoming widespread in 1979.

The AL-77 can be fitted with a variety of sights, including night vision and telescopic sights, plus a knife-bayonet or a grenade launcher. It uses plastic components where possible instead of wood or metal, with such components being the pistol grip, handguards and stock.
