The 2017 Men's EuroHockey Nations Championship was the 16th edition of the EuroHockey Nations Championship field hockey championship for men. It was held from 19–27 August 2017 in the Wagener Stadium, Amstelveen, Netherlands. The tournament also served as a qualifier for the 2018 Men's Hockey World Cup, with the winner qualifying.

The Netherlands won their fifth overall title by defeating Belgium 4–2 in the final, while England capture the third place by beating Germany 4–2.

The eight teams are split into two groups of four teams. The top two teams advance to the semifinals to determine the winner in a knockout system. The bottom two teams play in a new group with the teams they did not play against in the group stage. The last two teams will be relegated to the EuroHockey Nations Challenge.

All times are local (UTC+2).

The points obtained in the preliminary round against the other team are taken over.
