1996–97 Liga Indonesia Premier Division

The 1996–97 Liga Indonesia Premier Division was the 3rd season of the Liga Indonesia Premier Division, the top division of Indonesian football. The worsening macro economics situation prior to the Asian Financial Crisis forced the PSSI to further divide the league into 3 Regions, up from the previous season 2, to reduce cost related to logistical problems owing to the vastness of Indonesian geography. The season began on 17 November 1996 and ended on 28 July 1997. Persebaya won the title after beating the defending champions, Bandung Raya 3–1 in the final.
