The 1997–98 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup was the 19th World Cup season in ski jumping and the 8th official World Cup season in ski flying with eighth small crystal globe awarded.

Season began in Lillehammer, Norway on 29 November 1997 and finished in Planica, Slovenia on 22 March 1998. The individual World Cup overall winner was Primož Peterka for the second year in a row, Sven Hannawald took Ski Flying small crystal globe, Kazuyoshi Funaki won Four Hills Tournament and Nations Cup was taken by Team of Japan.

27 men's individual events on 19 different venus in 11 countries were held on the two different continents (Europe and Asia). There were a lot of problems with weather at the beginning of the season in Harrachov due to lack of snow moved from large to normal hill; and in Oberhof due to warm weather and rain, was rescheduled two times in total, at last to Lahti in March. Also one scheduled team event was cancelled as only 6 team applied instead of at least 8 required.

Peaks of the season were Winter Olympics, FIS Ski Flying World Championships (also counted for World Cup for fourth Championhips in a row), 4H Tournament and Nordic Tournament.
