The 2017 Kilkenny Junior Hurling Championship was the 107th staging of the competition since its establishment by the Kilkenny County Board in 1905 and ran from 23 August to 14 October 2017.

The competition consisted of 20 teams divided into sections A and B. Section A comprised 12 junior-grade clubs represented by their first-team panels. Section B comprised eight senior/intermediate-grade clubs represented by their second-team panels.
