The 2017 Italian Grand Prix (officially the Formula 1 Gran Premio Heineken d'Italia 2017) was the thirteenth race of the 2017 Formula One season, and the 87th time the Italian Grand Prix was held. It was held between 1 September and 3 September 2017.

In qualifying, Lewis Hamilton took his 69th pole position, breaking Michael Schumacher's record of the most poles scored. Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo set the second and third fastest times, but with their grid penalties applied, Lance Stroll was promoted up to second on the grid, making him the youngest front row starter ever, while Esteban Ocon was promoted up to third, marking his best qualifying result.

Hamilton dominated the race, leading all but one lap, and finishing more than four seconds ahead of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas. Ferrari driver and previous points leader Sebastian Vettel held off a furious challenge by Red Bull's Ricciardo for third, with Ricciardo grabbing fastest lap.
