The 1997 Alabama Crimson Tide football team represented the University of Alabama in the college football season of 1997–98.

They played their home games at both Bryant–Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa and Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, and competed in the West Division of the Southeastern Conference. Alabama would finish with a record of 4–7 record in suffering the program's first losing season since the 1984 season.
