1896–97 Johns Hopkins men's ice hockey season

The 1896–97 Johns Hopkins men's ice hockey season was the 2nd season of intercollegiate play for the program and third season overall.

The two intercollegiate games were a 2-2 tie with Yale on January 8, 1897 at the North Avenue Ice Palace and a 3-1 win over Maryland Agricultural College also at the North Avenue Ice Palace on February 5th. The balance of the team's schedule resulted in a 2-4-0 record. It is unclear who the remaining opponents were for the team but it was likely Maryland Athletic Club, Northampton Hockey Club, University of Maryland and Walbrook Athletic Club who were also members of the Baltimore Hockey League.
