The 2017 IIHF Ice Hockey Women's World Championships were the 19th such series of tournaments organised by the International Ice Hockey Federation. Teams participated at several levels of competition. The competition also served as qualifications for the 2018 competition. At the 2017 annual congress it was decided that the top level would expand from eight to ten teams.[1] As a result, all relegations from the 2017 tournaments were cancelled, and there would also be no relegation in all 2018 tournaments.

The Top Division tournament was played in Plymouth Township, Michigan, United States, from 31 March to 7 April 2017.[2]
