The 2017–18 season was the 140th year in the history of English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. The club competed in the second tier of the English football system, the English Football League Championship for a fourth consecutive year. This was the first season under new head coach Nuno Espírito Santo.

The season was a success: the club was promoted to the Premier League after a six-year absence. This was officially achieved on 14 April after third-placed Fulham failed to beat Brentford.^[1]^[2]^[3] One week later the team secured the title, having led the division since late October. The tally of 99 points was the club's highest-ever in the second tier.
