The 1997 Munster Senior Hurling Championship final (sponsored by Guinness) was a hurling match played on Sunday 6 July 1997 at Páirc UàChaoimh, Cork. It was contested by Clare and Tipperary. Clare, captained by Anthony Daly and managed by Ger Loughnane, claimed the title, beating Tipperary on a scoreline of 1-18 to 0-18.

The win was the first for Clare over Tipperary in a Munster final. Both teams would go on to contest the 1997 All-Ireland final, two months later, a game which was also won by Clare on a 2-13 to 0-20 scoreline.
