The 1997 Anaheim Angels season was the 37th season of the Anaheim Angels franchise in the American League, the 32nd in Anaheim, and their 32nd season playing their home games at Anaheim Stadium. The Angels finished second in the American League West with a record of 84 wins and 78 losses. It was the first season for the franchise as the "Anaheim Angels", after playing under the name of the "California Angels" for the previous 31 seasons, plus part of another. It was also the first season that the team introduced a new logo: the word angels on the front of the jerseys (which were now in a vest style) with wings coming out of the A (the winged A was also used on the team's caps). This look would last until 2001 when it was retired immediately after that season.
