Pete Sampras defeated Cédric Pioline in the final, 6–4, 6–2, 6–4 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1997 Wimbledon Championships.^[1] It was his fourth Wimbledon title and tenth major title overall.

Richard Krajicek was the defending champion, but lost in the fourth round to Tim Henman.

This tournament marked the final major main draw appearances of former champions Pat Cash and Michael Stich.

This was the second year in Wimbledon history, after 1991, where there was play on the Middle Sunday, due to bad weather in the first week. The standout match on the Middle Sunday was the epic third round match where home favourite Tim Henman defeated Paul Haarhuis 6–7^(7–9), 6–3, 6–2, 4–6, 14–12, after Henman had been match point down earlier in the fifth set.
