The 2017 Buckinghamshire County Council election took place on 4 May 2017 as part of the 2017 local elections in the United Kingdom. All 49 councillors were elected from electoral divisions which returned one county councillor each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office, due to expire in 2021.
The Conservative Party retained an overall control on the council, winning 41 of the 49 seats on the council. Of the remaining 9 councillors, there were four Liberal Democrats, three Independents and one Labour. UKIP lost all six of their seats.
This was the last Buckinghamshire County Council election.
Due to the replacement of Buckinghamshire County Council by Buckinghamshire Council in 2020, the successor election to this election is the 2021 Buckinghamshire Council election.
