Highway 97 (AR 97, Ark. 97, and Hwy. 97) is a north–south state highway in Cleveland County. The route of 6.45 miles (10.38 km) begins at Highway 8 and runs northwest to US Highway 79 (US 79) in Kingsland. The route is maintained by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD).
The highway begins at Highway 8 in the southwest corner of Cleveland County near New Edinburg at Marks' Mills State Park and a National Historic Landmark. Highway 97 runs northwest toward Kingsland, beginning a concurrency with Highway 189 just south of the city. Once inside the city limits, Highway 189 turns left at 1st Street, ending the concurrency. Highway 97 continues along 1st Street and 3rd Street eastward to a junction with US 79, where it terminates.
The highway was added to the state highway system by the Arkansas State Highway Commission between 1939 and 1940 following the completion of a new terrain Highway 8 between New Edinburg and Fordyce. Following completion, the old Highway 8 routing to Kingston was redesignated as Highway 97.
The entire route is in Cleveland County.
