The 2017 South Florida Bulls football team will represent the University of South Florida (USF) in the 2017 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They will play their home games at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, and will be led by first-year head coach Charlie Strong. The Bulls will compete as members of the East Division of the American Athletic Conference.

In 2016, South Florida had their most successful season in school history, finishing 11–2, 7–1 in American Conference play. They finished as co-champions of the East Division, but lost out on participating in the Conference Championship Game on a tie-breaker to Temple. Before playing in the Birmingham Bowl, head coach Willie Taggart was hired by Oregon, and interim head coach T. J. Weist led them to victory in the bowl, 46–39 in overtime over South Carolina.

The coaching vacancy left by Willie Taggart was filled when USF hired Charlie Strong as head coach on December 11, 2016. Strong had been the head coach at the University of Texas before being fired after four seasons.

Sterlin Gilbert was named the new offensive coordinator on January 5, 2017. Gilbert had been Charlie Strong's offensive coordinator at Texas in 2016.

USF hired Brian Jean-Mary as the new defensive coordinator on January 8, 2017. Jean-Mary has been on Charlie Strong's coaching staff since Strong started coaching at Louisville in 2010. He was Texas's linebackers coach in 2016.
