War of the Worlds (2017) was a professional wrestling tour co-produced by the American Ring of Honor (ROH) and Japanese New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) promotions.

The tour's four events took place on May 7 at the Ted Reeve Arena in Toronto, Ontario; May 10 at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan; May 12 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City; and May 14 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The third night aired live on pay-per-view (PPV), while the fourth night was taped for four future episodes, including the 300th overall episode, of ROH's weekly television program, Ring of Honor Wrestling.[3] 2017 was the fourth year in which ROH and NJPW co-produced events under the War of the Worlds name. During the third night of the tour, NJPW announced the creation of the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship.[4]
