2017 WAC women's basketball tournament

The 2017 WAC women's basketball tournament is a basketball tournament held on March 9–12, 2017, at the Orleans Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The #1 seed in the tournament received a first round bye to the semifinals. Grand Canyon did not compete in the 2017 women's basketball tournament. As a D2 to D1 transitioning school, they are ineligible to compete in the NCAA tournament until the 2018 season, so they could not win the conference tournament since the winner receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. However Grand Canyon was eligible to win the regular season title and is eligible to compete in the WNIT or WBI should they be invited.

New Mexico State won the conference tournament championship game over Seattle, 63–48, to earn an automatic trip to the NCAA women's tournament.
