The Eurovision Young Dancers 2017 was the fifteenth and final edition of the Eurovision Young Dancers competition. The final took place at the Prague Congress Centre in Prague, Czech Republic, on 16 December 2017. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), and host broadcaster Česká televize (ČT), for a second consecutive time. The event is aimed at young dancers aged between 16 and 21, competing in modern dances, be it solo or in couples, as long as they were not professionally engaged.

Eight countries participated in the event, with Portugal returning after last competing at the Eurovision Young Dancers 2011; and Albania, Netherlands, and Slovakia not returning this year. Paulina Bidzińska of Poland won the contest, with Patricija Crnkovič of Slovenia placing second (runner-up).
