The 2017 FAI Senior Challenge Cup was the 97th season of the knockout national Football competition of Ireland. The winners of this season's cup earned a place in the 2018–19 Europa League and would have entered in the first qualifying round.

Cork City were the defending champions and went on to retain the cup after a 5-3 win on penalties against Dundalk in the final on 5 November.

The tournament began the weekend of 30 April 2017 with the preliminary round, which was contested by sixteen non-league clubs.
