The Highway 17 Express is a regional bus service in the San Francisco Bay Area, operated by Santa Cruz Metro as part of the Amtrak Thruway network. The route connects Santa Cruz and San Jose via California State Route 17, with intermediate stops in Pasatiempo and Scotts Valley.

The Highway 17 Express service began in 1989 as a commuter bus service, and was merged with an Amtrak Thruway intercity bus service in 2004. As a result, the route's schedules and ticketing are integrated with both local and long-distance transport networks. The service is jointly funded by Santa Cruz Metro, Caltrans, and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.
