The 27th Emmy Awards, later known as the 27th Primetime Emmy Awards, were handed out on May 19, 1975. There was no host this year. Winners are listed in bold and series' networks are in parentheses.

The top shows of the night were Mary Tyler Moore, and Upstairs, Downstairs which won its second straight Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. M*A*S*H led all shows with nine major nominations heading into the ceremony, but only won one award. Mary Tyler Moore led all shows with five major wins. Upstairs, Downstairs became the first non-American drama to win the outstanding drama award twice and was the third win in five years for a British produced drama.

This is the 1st ceremony where one network received all the nominations in a Series category. It would not happen again until the 39th Primetime Emmy Awards.
