The 1997–1998 ISU Junior Series was the first season of what was later named the ISU Junior Grand Prix, a series of international junior level competitions organized by the International Skating Union. It was designed to be a junior-level complement to the ISU Champions Series, which was for senior-level skaters. Skaters competed in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies singes, pair skating, and ice dancing. The top skaters from the series met at the Junior Series Final in Lausanne, Switzerland from March 5-8, 1998.
