Farm to Market Road 1197 (FM 1197) is a farm to market road in Clay County, Texas.
The southern terminus of FM 1197 is at US 82 in downtown Henrietta, and the route travels north along North Bridge Street through the city, passing the rodeo grounds, city square, the Clay County Courthouse, and Henrietta Reservoir. After leaving Henrietta, the two-lane, shoulderless route crosses the Little Wichita River and passes through the farming areas of northern Clay County before ending at an intersection with FM 2332 northeast of Hurnville.
FM 1197 was first designated in 1949. Its original southern terminus was at an intersection with SH 148 north of Henrietta, while its northern terminus was south of Hurnville. The southern terminus was relocated to US 82 within the city of Henrietta in 1950, making FM 1197 a true north–south route. While the southern terminus has remained unchanged, the route was extended at its other end several times: through Hurnville in 1951, to Stanfield in 1954, and then southward again in 1955. By 1957 the route designation was such that it formed a complete loop with US 82, with its "northern" terminus, now at the Montague County line; however, this extension was canceled the same year. In 1960, the route designation was truncated its current terminus at FM 2332, with the remainder of the route, including the 1957 extension, becoming part of that route.
The entire route is in Clay County.
