Elections were held on November 10, 1997, in the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton. This page lists the election results for Regional Chair, Regional Council, and local mayors and councils of the RMOC in 1997. The 1997 election was the last election for the regional government and the municipalities, as they were merged into the new city of Ottawa for the 2000 elections.
Ottawa West MPP Bob Chiarelli defeated incumbent Peter D. Clark for the chair of the region in a close race.
Chiarelli only won three of the region's 11 municipalities, but won the two largest, Ottawa and Nepean.
