The 2017 Giro d'Italia Femminile, or 2017 Giro Rosa, was the 28th running of the Giro d'Italia Femminile, the only remaining women's Grand Tour. It was held between 30 June and 9 July 2017 as the most prestigious stage race of both the 2017 UCI Women's World Tour and the women's calendar.[2]

The race was won for the second time in three years by Olympic and European champion Anna van der Breggen (Boels–Dolmans) from the Netherlands,[3][4] who took the leader's pink jersey after the second stage and maintained the lead for the remainder of the race, taking the overall lead of the UCI Women's World Tour standings in the process. Van der Breggen triumphed in the race overall by 63 seconds from the highest-placed Italian rider Elisa Longo Borghini, of the Wiggle High5 team.[3]

The podium was completed by Orica–Scott's Annemiek van Vleuten, who was a further 36 seconds behind Longo Borghini; van Vleuten, also from the Netherlands, had the best all-around performance among the overall contenders, winning two stages and two jerseys – the points classification and also the mountains classification.[5] Danish rider Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (Cervélo–Bigla Pro Cycling) extended her lead in the youth classification of the overall Women's World Tour standings by winning the race's young rider classification, while van der Breggen's Boels–Dolmans team were the winners of the team classification, after also placing defending race winner Megan Guarnier and Karol-Ann Canuel – the only other rider to wear the pink jersey, having done so after the opening stage team time trial – inside the top ten overall.
