The 2017–18 FC Porto season was the club's 108th competitive season and the 84th consecutive season in the top flight of Portuguese football. The season began on 9 August 2017 and concluded on 12 May 2018.

Porto won the 2017–18 Primeira Liga title in the penultimate matchday following a draw between direct rivals Benfica and Sporting CP. In doing so, they secured their first league title since the 2012–13 season and first overall title since the 2013 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. Porto also competed in the 2017–18 Taça da Liga and the 2017–18 Taça de Portugal; in both competitions, they reached the semi-finals but were eliminated by Sporting CP after a penalty shootout.

In UEFA competitions, Porto participated for the 7th consecutive and 22nd overall time in the UEFA Champions League group stage, a record shared with Barcelona and Real Madrid. They advanced to the round of 16 as group runners-up, behind Beşiktaş, where they were eliminated by Liverpool.
