The 2017 City of London Corporation election took place on 23 March 2017 to elect members of the Court of Common Council in the City of London Corporation, England.^[2] These elections take place every four years.^[3] As in the previous election, the vast majority of Council members were elected as independents.

In the 2013 election, all hundred seats were won by independent candidates.^[1] In 2017, fifteen of the hundred seats on the Council were won by political parties: the newly created Temple & Farringdon Together party^[4]^[5]^[2] and the Labour Party.

The elections attracted media attention^[6] as they represented a high point in the City for Labour, who until the 2017 election had only ever won a single seat in a 2014 by-election for Portsoken ward.^[7]

26 councillors were elected unopposed: twenty-five independents and one Labour.
