The 1997 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 22 to March 2, 1997 at the PNE Agrodome in Vancouver, British Columbia. The total attendance for the week was 35,390, which was the lowest since .

Team Saskatchewan, who was skipped by Sandra Schmirler won the tournament after beating Alison Goring's Ontario rink in the final 8–5. This was Saskatchewan's tenth title overall (eleven including Team Canada) and the third and final one skipped by Schmirler before her death in 2000. At the time, Schmirler joined Connie Laliberte and Vera Pezer as the only skips to win three championships.

Schmirler's rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1997 Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Bern, Switzerland, which they also won. Additionally, they also qualified for the 1997 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, which they qualified for the 1998 Winter Olympics where they captured the gold medal.
