The 2017 City of London Corporation election took place on 23 March 2017 to elect members of The Court of Common Council in the City of London Corporation, England. As in the previous election, the vast majority of Council members were elected as independents.

In the 2013 election, all 100 seats were won by independent candidates. In 2017, 15 of the 100 seats on the Council were won by political parties: the newly created 'Temple & Farringdon Together' party and the Labour Party.

The elections attracted media attention as they represented a high point in the City for Labour, who until the 2017 election had only ever won a single seat in a 2014 by-election for Portsoken ward.

26 councillors were elected unopposed: 25 independents and 1 Labour Party member.
