The 2016–17 Golden State Warriors season is the 71st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 55th in the San Francisco Bay Area. Golden State will enter the season as runners-up in the 2016 NBA Finals, after a record breaking regular-season in 2015–16. With the acquisition of free agent Kevin Durant in offseason, the Warriors were hailed as a "Superteam" by the media and fans, forming a new All-Star "Big Four" of Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

Stephen Curry has set four three-point NBA records this season; most three-pointers made in a single game (13), most consecutive games (regular-season and postseason combined) with a made three-pointer (196), most consecutive regular-season games with a made three-pointer (157) and most consecutive regular-season games with a made three-pointer on the road (117).

Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were all named to the All-Star Game, the first time Golden State have had four All-Stars and just the eighth time in NBA history a single team has had four players in the game.

The 2016 NBA Draft was held on June 23, 2016, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Warriors chose center Damian Jones out of Vanderbilt with the 30th pick of the first round. They also acquired the draft rights of swingman Patrick McCaw, the 38th pick of the second round. Warriors forwards Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green and guard Klay Thompson were selected to participate on the 2016 USA Basketball National Team that competed in the 2016 Olympic Games. The Warriors were the only team with three representatives on the Olympic squad. Stephen Curry withdrew from selection due to injury.
