The 1997 Big 12 Conference baseball tournament was the first in Big 12 history, and the only one to be held at All Sports Stadium in Oklahoma City, OK from May 15 through 18. Oklahoma won the inaugural tournament and earned the Big 12 Conference's automatic bid to the 1997 NCAA Division I baseball tournament. The format followed that used by the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship at the time: a six-team, double-elimination tournament.
