2017 Pittsburgh Riverhounds season
The 2017 Pittsburgh Riverhounds season was the club's eighteenth season of existence, and their seventh consecutive season in the United Soccer League, the second tier of American soccer. Pittsburgh also competed in the U.S. Open Cup. The season covered the period from September 25, 2016 to the beginning of the 2018 USL season.

The Riverhounds won the Keystone Derby Cup over Harrisburg City Islanders, the second time since the cup was introduced that the Riverhounds won the trophy. After defeating Harrisburg 1–0 on April 29, Pittsburgh went to FNB Field for the last two meetings between the teams, a 0–0 draw on May 24 and a 3–0 Pittsburgh win on August 12.

Pittsburgh finished 13th in the Eastern Conference, missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season and the tenth time in the club's history. Although the Riverhounds increased from 25 to 36 points from 2016 to 2017, they still finished eight points behind Bethlehem Steel FC for the final playoff spot in the conference.
