The 2017–18 Damehåndboldligaen (known as HTH GO Ligaen for sponsorship reasons) was the 82nd season of Damehåndboldligaen, Denmark's premier handball league. Nykøbing Falster Håndboldklub were the defending champions. Following SK Aarhus's bankruptcy, Aarhus United overtook their license and therefore their position in the league.

København Håndbold won their first ever title, when they beat Odense Håndbold in the final. There were no relegated teams, as Ajax København won the relegation play off against SønderjyskE Håndbold.

! In the 2017–18 season, no teams will be directly relegated as the league expands to 14 teams from the 2018-19 season. The last placed team of the regular season will play a best of three relegation playoff against 1. division's third-placed team (as both the winner and the runner-up of 1. division will be automatically promoted to the 2018–19 Damehåndboldligaen). Like the men's league, the championship play-offs will include 8 teams.
