The Europe/Africa Zone was one of three zones of regional competition in the 1997 Fed Cup.
The fifteen teams were divided into three pools of four and one pool of three teams. The top teams of each pool play-off in a two-round knockout stage to decide which nation progresses to World Group II play-offs. The two nations winning the least rubbers were relegated to Europe/Africa Zone Group II for 1998.
