The 1997 German Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Hockenheim, Baden-Württemberg on 27 July 1997. It was the tenth race of the 1997 Formula One World Championship.
The race was won by Austrian Gerhard Berger, driving a Benetton-Renault. Having missed the previous three races due to a sinus problem, Berger took pole position and led the race from start to finish, except for the pit stops. It was Berger's tenth and final Grand Prix victory, the 27th and last for the Benetton team, and his final podium in Formula One. Local driver Michael Schumacher finished second in a Ferrari, with Finn Mika Häkkinen third in a McLaren-Mercedes.
