1976–77 Kent Football League

The 1976–77 Kent Football League season was the eleventh in the history of the Kent Football League, a football competition featuring teams based in and around the county of Kent in England.

The league comprised one division and there was also a league cup competition, the Challenge Cup.

League table
The league featured teams from seventeen clubs, including three reserves teams. Fifteen of the clubs competed in the previous season together with two additional teams:
 * Faversham Town joined from the Athenian League.
 * Ramsgate joined from the Southern League and replaced their reserves team.

The Dartford Amateurs team from the previous season was renamed Dartford Glentworth.

The league was won by Medway, their third league title in six seasons and part of a league and cup double – a feat they had previously achieved (when named Chatham Town) in the 1971–72 season.

At the end of the season both bottom clubs applied for re-election: Slade Green Athletic were successful; Folkestone & Shepway Reserves were initially refused (perceived to be part of the League's agenda to remove reserves teams from the division) however following an appeal to the Kent County FA they were reinstated.

Challenge Cup
The 1976–77 Kent Football League Challenge Cup was won by Medway who completed a league and cup double – a feat they had previously achieved (when named Chatham Town) in the 1971–72 season.

The competition, contested by all seventeen clubs in the league, comprised five single match tie rounds (with the first round featuring one tie) culminating in a drawn final (played at Sittingbourne) which required a replay (played at Sheppey United) to decide the winner.
