Highway 17 is a highway in Canada that straddles and criss-crosses the Alberta–Saskatchewan provincial border. The portion from the provincial border at Dillberry Lake Provincial Park to the provincial border 800 metres (2,600 ft) north of the North Saskatchewan River is designated as Alberta Provincial Highway No. 17 by Alberta Transportation, commonly referred to as Highway 17.
Highway 17 is considered a part of both provincial highway systems. The entire length of the highway is maintained jointly by the respective provincial governments.
In the south, Highway 17 begins in Saskatchewan at Saskatchewan Highway 14 near Macklin, 3.6 km (2.2 mi) east of Alberta. Saskatchewan Highway 14 is the continuation of Alberta Highway 13.
