1996–97 United States network television schedule (Saturday morning)

This was the United States broadcast television schedule on all four commercial television networks on Saturday mornings for the season beginning in the fall of 1996 and ending in the spring of 1997. All times are Eastern and Pacific.

1996–97 was the first season in which the United States educational programming mandates took effect, prompting the major television networks to overhaul their Saturday morning programming so that their affiliates could meet the new mandates.
