Interstate 97 (abbreviated I-97) is an intrastate Interstate highway located entirely within Anne Arundel County, Maryland, United States. It runs from Annapolis, Maryland at the US 50/US 301/unsigned I-595 concurrency to Baltimore, Maryland at I-695. Originally the section of MD 3 from Bowie to MD 32 was going to be Interstate 297 but the proposed route was canceled due to local opposition [1]. The state has no official plans but is currently studying the idea of upgrading MD 3 and U.S. Route 301 to Interstate standards; this could extend the highway into Virginia, possibly ending north of Richmond.

- Two spur routes of I-97 were planned but never built. I-197 would have been 4 miles (6.4 km) long and I-297 would have been 7.7 miles (12.4 km) long. [2]
- Originally proposed I-97 route included section of US 50/unsigned I-595 between Interstate 95 and the current I-97 designation.
- Originally proposed north-south route was to follow current Maryland State Highway 10 corridor.
- Section from exit 7 north to I-695 originally Maryland State Highway 3/Glen Burnie Bypass.
