The 2016–17 West Midlands (Regional) League season is the 117th in the history of the West Midlands (Regional) League (WMRL), a football competition in England which was formed in 1889. The league operates three divisions: the Premier Division, see below, at level 10 in the English football league system, Division One at level 11, and Division Two. The Premier Division is one of three divisions which feed into the Midland League Premier Division, the other two being the East Midlands Counties League and the Midland League's own Division One.

Premier Division

Following the promotion of Shawbury United to the Midland League Premier Division, and the relegation of Bromyard Town and Tipton Town to WMRL Division One, this division comprises the remaining 19 teams which competed last season together with Shifnal Town who were promoted from Division One.
