The 2017 Campeonato Pernambucano (officially the Pernambucano A1 2017) was the 103rd edition of the state championship of Pernambuco. The championship began on January 4 and ended on June 28. Twelve teams were competing, ten returning from the 2016 and two promoted from the 2016 Pernambucano A2 Championship (Flamengo de Arcoverde and Afogados).
Santa Cruz were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Salgueiro in the semi-finals.
Sport defeated Salgueiro 2–1 on aggregate to win their 41st Campeonato Pernambucano title.

The teams in bold were qualified directly for the Second stage.

The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams were equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria were applied to determine the rankings:

In the Play-offs stages, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on aggregate, neither the away goals rule nor extra time was used and the penalty shoot-out determined the winner. In the Third place matches and the Final, the second leg was hosted by the teams with a higher total number of points (Second Stage and Semi-finals).

Salgueiro won 2–1 on aggregate and advanced to the Final.
Salgueiro qualifies to the 2018 Copa do Brasil and 2018 Copa do Nordeste.
