The 2017 Ford World Men's Curling Championship was a curling event that was held between April 1–9 at Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton, Alberta.
Canada won the title for the 36th time overall and the second consecutive year. Like Rachel Homan's team at the women's tournament, Brad Gushue and his teammates finished with a perfect 13-0 record, which included defeating eventual runner-up Niklas Edin of Sweden three times. Switzerland won the bronze medal.
With the win, Gushue became the first skip in the history of the sport to win the world junior title, the Olympic gold medal, and the world men's title.
