The 2016–17 Florida State Seminoles men's basketball team, variously Florida State or FSU, represented Florida State University during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Seminoles were led by head coach Leonard Hamilton, in his fifteenth year, and played their home games at the Donald L. Tucker Center on the university's Tallahassee, Florida campus as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Seminoles achieved their best start in school history, winning 15 of their first 16 games and six of their first seven conference games, including a stretch that included six straight ranked opponents. Over the course of the season, Dwayne Bacon became the 46th Seminole player, and only the second sophomore, to score a thousand career points. They set their record for most regular season wins, tied their record for most ACC wins in a single season and went undefeated at home for the first time since the 1975–76 season. Jonathan Isaac and Dwayne Bacon went on to be selected in the NBA draft.

Florida State finished in a three-way tie for second in the ACC and reached the semifinals of the ACC tournament. The Seminoles received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as a three-seed in the west region, their first tournament appearance since 2012, where they reached the second round.
