Cyprus will participate in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2017 which will take place on 26 November 2017, in Tbilisi, Georgia. The Cypriot broadcaster Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) is responsible for organising their entry for the contest. Nicole Nicolaou was internally selected to represent Cyprus with the song "I Wanna Be a Star".
Prior to the 2017 Contest, Cyprus had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest nine times since its debut at the inaugural contest in 2003. Cyprus were absent from the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2015 contests. They have never won the contest, with their best results being at the 2004 and 2006, represented by Marios Tofi, and the duo Louis Panagiotou and Christina Christofi respectively, achieving eighth place. Cyprus has hosted the contest once in 2008, at the Spyros Kyprianou Athletic Center in Limassol.
CyBC was the very first broadcaster which announced that they would be present to the next contest in Tbilisi. They selected their entry internally.
