The 1997 UC Davis football team represented the University of California, Davis in the 1997 NCAA Division II football season. They played as a Division II independent in 1997. They would stay an independent until 2004 when they became a charter member of the Great West Conference (GWC).
The 1997 Aggies were led by fifth-year head coach Bob Biggs and played their home games at Toomey Field. UC Davis finished the regular season with a record of seven wins and four losses (7–4). This was the 28th consecutive year UC Davis finished with a winning record.
At the end of the season the Aggies were ranked #14 and were invited to the Division II playoffs for the second year in a row. In the first round they upset 4th-ranked Texas A&M–Kingsville in Kingsville, Texas. In the second round (quarterfinal), they upset 6th-ranked Angelo State in San Angelo, Texas. In the semi-final game they were defeated by 2nd-ranked New Haven in West Haven, Connecticut. This was the second straight year the Aggies lost in the Division II semifinals. That brought the Aggies final record to nine wins and five losses (9–5). The Aggies outscored their opponents 378–325 for the season.
