The 1997 Boston University Terriers football team was an American football team that represented Boston University as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference during the 1997 NCAA Division I-AA football season. In their second season under head coach Tom Masella, the Terriers compiled a 1–10 record (1–7 against conference opponents), tied for last place in the Atlantic 10's New England Division, and were outscored by a total of 353 to 162.[1]

In late October 1997, Boston University announced that its trustees had voted to drop its football program at the end of the 1997 season. The move was announced as part of a restructuring plan that called for increased funding of women's sports.[2]
