The 2016–17 season was the 131st in the history of Luton Town Football Club, a professional association football club based in Luton, Bedfordshire, England. Their 11th-place finish in 2015–16 meant it was the club's third consecutive season in League Two and 91st season in the English Football League. The season ran from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017.
Luton finished the season in fourth-place in the League Two table. This meant they qualified for the play-offs, losing to Blackpool in the semi-final. The club were eliminated in the second round of the EFL Cup, the third round of the FA Cup and the semi-final of the EFL Trophy.
The 2015–16 season was John Still's third start to a season as manager of Luton Town, having been appointed in February 2013. Still was sacked in December 2015 with Luton 17th in League Two after four straight defeats. He was replaced by Nathan Jones, who had been first-team coach at Championship club Brighton & Hove Albion. Luton finished in 11th-place in the 2015–16 League Two table.
