The King of Fighters '97 (ザ・キング・オブ・ファイターズ’97) is an entry in SNK's The King of Fighters series. It is the fourth in the series, and follows The King of Fighters '96.

Like The King of Fighters '96, the game was released for the Sega Saturn though this version was exclusive to Japan. Like its prequel, the Saturn release was delayed, so much so that the game was not released until 1998. It requires a 1MB RAM cartridge for use, though unlike 96 it is also compatible with 4MB cartridges.

The King of Fighters '98 was not released on the Saturn (or for any Sega systems for that matter), however the series did return with the Sega Dreamcast release of The King of Fighters: Dream Match 1999.
