The 2017 Vuelta a Asturias was the 60th edition of the Vuelta a Asturias cycling stage race, that took place over three stages from 29 April to 1 May 2017. It was held as part of the 2017 UCI Europe Tour. The defending champion was Hugh Carthy (Caja Rural–Seguros RGA), but Carthy did not defend his title as he had moved to the Cannondale–Drapac squad that was not invited to the race.
The race was won by Spanish rider Raúl Alarcón, riding for the Portuguese W52–FC Porto–Mestre da Cor team. Over the stages, Alarcón won one and finished the other two in second place – more than enough for the points classification win – as he triumphed in the race overall by 32 seconds. Second place went to Colombia's Nairo Quintana (Movistar Team), in his final preparation race before the 2017 Giro d'Italia, while the podium was completed by Spain's Óscar Sevilla (Medellín–Inder) on countback from Portugal's João Benta of Rádio Popular–Boavista.
In the race's other classifications, Colombians Sergio Higuita and Hernán Aguirre from Team Manzana Postobón won the mountains and young rider classifications respectively,Kuwait–Cartucho.es rider Fernando Grijalba won the sprints classification, while W52–FC Porto–Mestre da Cor won the teams classification, after placing Alarcón, Ricardo Mestre (seventh) and Joaquim Silva (ninth) in the top ten overall.
