2016–17 Columbia Lions women's basketball team

The Lions, led by first-year head coach Megan Griffith, played their home games at Levien Gymnasium and were members of the Ivy League.

They failed to qualify for the Ivy women's tournament, new this year.

This season, the Ivy League will institute conference postseason tournaments.

The tournaments will only award the Ivy League automatic bids for the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments; the official conference championships will continue to be awarded based solely on regular-season results.

The Ivy League playoff will take place March 11 and 12 at the Palestra in Philadelphia.
