Clarkson Golden Knights women's ice hockey seasons
« 2016–17 2018–19 »

The Clarkson Golden Knights women's ice hockey program represented Clarkson University during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I women's ice hockey season. The Golden Knights entered the season as the defending national champions as well as the ECAC regular season and tournament champions. They also entered the season as the top-ranked team in both the USCHO.com and the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls for the first time.

In their most successful season to date, the Golden Knights successfully defended all three titles. After splitting the ECAC regular season title with Colgate, the Golden Knights won the ECAC title over said Colgate team 3–0. They followed up their conference championship by advancing to their third NCAA title game, where they once again beat Colgate 2–1 in overtime to win the program's third national title. In addition to the NCAA championship game, the Golden Knights won both of their other NCAA tournament games in overtime, becoming the first team to win all three NCAA tournament games in overtime en route to a title.
