The 1996–1997 season was the Real Madrid CF's 66th season in La Liga. This article shows statistics of the club's players in the 1996–1997 season. This was the first season since 1977–78 that Real Madrid would not compete in any European competition due to the previous season's lowest position finish in 19 years.

Summary

For the first time since the 1977–78 season Real Madrid only played in the domestic competitions. Real Madrid returned to domestic glory in the only season under the Fabio Capello's reign, who, after much conflict with club president Lorenzo Sanz, already mid-season announced his exit in order to return to Italy. New signings Predrag Mijatović and Davor Šuker played alongside main striker Raúl González as well as Clarence Seedorf in midfield. Roberto Carlos, Carlos Secretário, Christian Panucci and mid-season Zé Roberto were also new signings in defence. Real Madrid won La Liga title on the last day of the season despite a 4-0 loss against Celta Vigo but Real Madrid suffered an early domestic cup exit against eventual winners Barcelona in the Round of 16 after a 4-3 aggregate loss.
