The 1997 Conference USA baseball tournament was the 1997 postseason baseball championship of the NCAA Division I Conference USA, held at Turchin Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana, from May 13 through 18. Houston defeated Charlotte in the championship game, earning the conference's automatic bid to the 1997 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.

With the completion of Houston's move from the Southwest Conference, the conference expanded to 10 teams in baseball. As a result, the tournament's play-in round was expanded to include the 7th–10th seeds, instead of only the 8th and 9th.
