The 1997 Liechtenstein general election was held on 2 February 1997 to elect the 25 members of the Landtag. It was the 39th legislative term, and ended on 11 February 2001.
The Landtag consists of the elected members, who then elect the president and the government. The composition was the lowest result in the Progressive Citizens' Party's history to that point, and it subsequently ended the coalition with the Patriotic Union, who had won a majority of thirteen seats, that had existed since 1938 and moved into the opposition.
Member Gebhard Hoch died in office on 28 June 2000 and was succeeded.
