The 2017 Warwickshire County Council election took place as part of the 2017 local elections in the UK. All 57 councillors were elected for single-member electoral divisions for a four-year term. The voting system used was first-past-the-post.

Boundary changes took effect at this election after a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England.

The result was Conservative councillors formed a majority of 15 on the council which had been three seats short of any single political grouping's control before the election. The second-largest party became ten councillors of the Labour Party and the balance of the council became formed by seven Liberal Democrats.
