The 1996/97 FIS Ski Jumping Continental Cup was the 6th in a row (4th official) Continental Cup winter season in ski jumping for men. Europa Cup was a predecessor of Continental Cup.^[1]

For the first time in history competitions were held in summer on plastic. However, both summer season on plastic and winter season on snow together counted in joined overall ranking.

It is not clear won actually won the season or what was the final score ranking, as it is not clear if Polish wiki took in consideration correct 46 events in the season, or the counted in both events in Velenje (28 and 29 June) at the start of the season, which didn't count for Continental Cup.

Other competitive circuits this season included the World Cup and Grand Prix.
