The 1997 Meath Senior Football Championship was the 105th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 18 teams, with the winner going on to represent Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

Kilmainhamwood were the defending champions after they defeated Seneschalstown in the previous years final.

This was Cortown's first ever year as a senior club after claiming the 1996 IFC title.

The first ever 'Navan El Classico' in the SFC took place this year between Navan O'Mahonys and Simonstown Gaels on 27 September in Pairc Tailteann]]. O'Mahonys won a dour affair and hence qualified for the final.

On 12 October 1997, Navan O'Mahonys claimed their 16th Senior Championship title with a win over Trim in the final. Alan Reilly raised the Keegan Cup for O'Mahonys while Donal Smyth collected the 'Man of the Match' award.
