The 1996–97 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup was the 18th World Cup season in ski jumping and the 7th official World Cup season in ski flying with seventh small crystal globe awarded.

Season began in Lillehammer, Norway on 30 November 1996 and finished in Planica, Slovenia on 23 March 1997. The individual World Cup overall winner was Primož Peterka (first ever big crystal globe for Slovenia), he also won Ski Flying small globe and Four Hills Tournament (both also first for Slovenia). Nations Cup was taken by Team of Japan.

25 men's individual events on 17 different venues in 9 countries were held on the two different continents (Europe and Asia); one individual event was cancelled due to wind in Hakuba.

At the end of the season in Planica we've seen incredible fairplay for overall crystal globe battle, when German physiotherapist Rudi Lorenz helped Primož Peterka who crashed and injured on Friday's training and was the main rival of Dieter Thoma. Also two world records were set there with Espen Bredesen (210 m) and Lasse Ottesen at 212 metres on Saturday.

Peaks of the season were FIS Nordic World Ski Championships and Four Hills Tournament.
