The 2016–17 Dayton Flyers women's basketball team represented the University of Dayton during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I women's basketball season.

The Flyers, led by first-year head coach Shauna Green, played their home games at the University of Dayton Arena and are members of the Atlantic 10 Conference.

They won the A-10 tournament for the first time since 2013 by defeating Duquesne and received an automatic bid to the NCAA women's tournament where they lost to Tennessee in the first round.

On September 7, 2016, it was announced that Jim Jabir will be stepping down as the Flyers' head coach.

Most home games will also be featured on the A-10 Digital Network.
