The 1996–97 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 27th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship ran from 22 September 1996 to 17 March 1997.

Sixmilebridge of Clare were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten by Wolfe Tones na Sionna in the quarter-finals of the 1996 Clare SHC. Boherlahan–Dualla of Tipperary, Wolfe Tones na Sionna of Clare and Young Irelands of Kilkenny made their championship debut.

The All-Ireland final was played at Croke Park in Dublin on 17 March 1997, between Athenry of Galway and Wolfe Tones na Sionna of Clare, in what was a first championship meeting between the teams. Athenry won the match by 0–14 to 1–08 to claim a first title.

Ballygunner's Paul Flynn was the championship's top scorer with 3–21.
