The 2017–18 season was Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio's seventh consecutive season in Serie A. The club competed in Serie A and the Coppa Italia, and had qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Europa League following a fourth-place finish the previous season, the club's best league result at the time.

The season was coach Gian Piero Gasperini's second at the club. Atalanta ended the season in 7th, qualifying for the second qualifying round of the 2018–19 UEFA Europa League. The club was eliminated in the Coppa Italia by eventual winners Juventus, in the semi-finals.
