The 2017 CONMEBOL Copa América de Futsal was the 12th edition of the Copa América de Futsal, the international futsal championship under FIFA rules organised by CONMEBOL for the men's national teams of South America. The tournament was held in San Juan, Argentina between April 5–12, 2017.

All ten CONMEBOL member national teams entered the tournament.

All matches are played in one venue: Estadio Aldo Cantoni in San Juan.

Each team had to submit a squad of 14 players, including a minimum of two goalkeepers (Regulations Article 4.1).

The draw of the group stage was held on 30 March 2017, 14:30 ART (UTC−3), at the Sports Secretariat of the city of San Juan. The ten teams were drawn into two groups of five teams. The hosts and defending champions Argentina and the defending runners-up Paraguay were seeded into Groups A and B respectively, while the remaining teams were placed into four "pairing pots" according to their results in the 2015 Copa América de Futsal: Brazil–Colombia, Chile–Uruguay, Venezuela–Peru, Ecuador–Bolivia.

The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals, while the teams in third, fourth and fifth advance to the fifth place, seventh place, and ninth place play-offs respectively. The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order (Regulations Article 6.2):

All times are local, ART (UTC−3).
