The 2017 World Rally Championship seasons were a series of rally racing championships held in 2017. They consisted of the World Rally Championship, recognised by the FIA as the highest class of international competition; the World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3, which served as the primary feeder series for crews competing in Group R cars; and the Junior World Rally Championship, a one-make series for drivers under the age of twenty-one. The 2017 season also saw crews contest a series of competitions run alongside the championship including the WRC Trophy, which was open to crews competing in World Rally Cars built prior to 2017; and the FIA R-GT Cup, a competition for crews competing in GT cars adapted for rallying under Group R regulations.

The 2017 World Rally Championship saw the sport undergo a substantial revision of the technical regulations aimed at improving the performance of the cars by increasing aerodynamic and mechanical grip. With seven rally wins and four podium finishes, Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul won their maiden World Drivers' and Co-drivers' Championships, beating defending champions Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia by seventeen points. In the World Championship for Manufacturers, M-Sport won the championship as Ogier and Ingrassia and team-mates Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja secured enough points to fend off Hyundai Motorsport.
