The 2017 Vuelta a Andalucía was a road cycling stage race that took place in Andalusia between 15 and 19 February 2017. The race was rated as a 2.HC event as part of the 2017 UCI Europe Tour, and was the 63rd edition of the Vuelta a Andalucía.
The five-stage race was won for a record-extending fifth time – in six years – by Alejandro Valverde of the Movistar Team, taking the 100th victory of his professional career in the process. Valverde won the opening stage of the race, and after losing the lead to Trek–Segafredo's Alberto Contador the following day, Valverde re-assumed the lead of the race by finishing second to Victor Campenaerts (LottoNL–Jumbo) in the third stage time trial; Valverde was able to maintain a lead of one second over Contador for the remainder of the race. The podium was completed by Thibaut Pinot, who finished five seconds further back in third place for the FDJ team.
With consistent finishing during the race, Valverde was also able to win the points and combination classifications, and was the best-placed Spanish rider. Georg Preidler won the green jersey for the mountains classification, riding for Team Sunweb, while Wanty–Groupe Gobert rider Marco Minnaard won the white jersey for the intermediate sprints classification. The teams classification was won by Team Sky, with three of the squad's riders – Wout Poels, Diego Rosa and Mikel Landa – in fourth, fifth and sixth overall respectively.
