The 2017 New Mexico State Aggies football team represented New Mexico State University as a member of the Sun Belt Conference during the 2017 NCAA Division I FBS football season.

Led by fifth-year head coach Doug Martin, the Aggies compiled an overall record of 7–6 with a mark of 4–4 in conference play, placing in a three-way tie for fifth in the Sun Belt; this was the program's first winning season since 2002.

This would be the last season the Aggies finished with a winning record or appear in a bowl game until 2022.
