Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1997 was the cricket season when the English club Derbyshire had been playing for one hundred and twenty-six years. In the County Championship, they won two matches to finish sixteenth in their ninety fourth season in the Championship. They came fourteenth in the AXA Life League and did not progress from the group in the National Westminster Bank Trophy. They reached the semi-final of the Benson & Hedges Cup.

1997 season

Derbyshire played seventeen matches in the County Championship, one against Cambridge University, one against the touring Australians and one against the Pakistan A team. They won five first class matches overall but three wins were in the non-championship games leaving only two wins in the championship. They won four and lost nine matches in the Sunday league.

Dean Jones was in his second season as captain. Kim Barnett was top scorer although Chris Adams scored most runs in the one-day game including five centuries. Devon Malcolm took most wickets.
