The 2017 Queensland state election was held on 25 November 2017 to elect all 93 members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland, the unicameral Parliament of Queensland.

The first-term incumbent Labor government, led by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, successfully won a second term in government and was challenged by the Liberal National opposition, led by Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls. Also competing in the election were minor parties One Nation, Katter's Australian Party and the Greens.

The 2015 election outcome had delivered a hung parliament with 44 seats to the Labor opposition, 42 seats to the Liberal National government, and 3 to the crossbench. Just one seat short of majority government, Labor was able to form minority government with confidence and supply support from the independent MP Peter Wellington, while retaining the right to otherwise vote on conscience. During the parliamentary term, Labor MPs Billy Gordon and Rob Pyne became independent MPs, however they both indicated they would provide confidence and supply support for the government.
