The 1996–97 UEFA Champions League was the 42nd edition of UEFA's premier European club football tournament, the fifth since its rebranding as the UEFA Champions League, and the last involving only clubs that were champions of their domestic leagues. The tournament was won by Borussia Dortmund in a surprise 3–1 final victory against defending champions Juventus. It was their only title in the tournament to date, and the first title for Germany since its reunification. The two sides had also met in the final of the UEFA Cup in 1992–93, when the Italian giants won 6–1 on aggregate.
