The 2017 Tour de Luxembourg was the 77th edition of the Tour de Luxembourg cycle stage race. It was held between 31 May and 4 June, as part of the 2017 UCI Europe Tour as a 2.HC event.[2] Defending champion Maurits Lammertink did not compete in the race, as he elected to compete in the partly-concurrent Critérium du Dauphiné event in France.[3]

The race was won by Belgium's Greg Van Avermaet, riding for the BMC Racing Team.[4] After winning the second stage of the race, Van Avermaet took the race lead from teammate Jempy Drucker, after finishing second to Cofidis rider Anthony Perez the following day. Van Avermaet cemented the race victory by winning the final stage of the race, ultimately winning the race by 29 seconds overall,[1] and winning the points classification as a result.[5]

Perez held the young rider classification lead going into the final day by just one second ahead of Benjamin Thomas (Armée de Terre) and Xandro Meurisse of Wanty–Groupe Gobert, but Meurisse took the jersey,[6] by finishing in third place on the final stage behind Van Avermaet and WB Veranclassic Aqua Protect's Alex Kirsch, accumulating enough bonus seconds to overhaul both riders into second place overall.[1] Perez completed the podium, seven seconds down on Meurisse.[1] In the race's other classifications, Fortuneo–Vital Concept rider Brice Feillu won the mountains classification,[7] while the teams classification was won by Cofidis, after placing Perez, Luis Ángel Maté and Nicolas Edet in the top ten overall.[1][8]
