The 2016–17 season was Shrewsbury Town's 131st year in existence and their second consecutive season in League One after finishing in 20th place the previous season.{{Cite news |title=History |url=http://www.statto.com/football/teams/shrewsbury-town/history |publisher=Statto |access-date=15 May 2016 |archive-date=5 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905094202/http://www.statto.com/football/teams/shrewsbury-town/history |url-status=dead }}

After a poor start to the season, winning only two of the opening ten league matches, manager Micky Mellon and his assistant Mike Jackson left the club, and four subsequent successive defeats under the caretaker management of goalkeeping coach Danny Coyne saw Shrewsbury rooted to the bottom of the league table.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37663473|title=Shrewsbury Town 2-4 Northampton Town|publisher=BBC Sport|date=22 October 2016|access-date=1 May 2017}} Grimsby Town manager Paul Hurst was appointed alongside assistant Chris Doig on 24 October 2016, eventually steering the club to an 18th-placed finish, three league places and two points clear of local rivals Port Vale who occupied the final relegation place.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39682629|title=Oxford United 2-0 Shrewsbury Town|publisher=BBC Sport|date=30 April 2017|access-date=1 May 2017}}

The club also participated in the FA Cup, League Cup and the Football League Trophy. A team consisting of fringe and youth team players contested the Shropshire Senior Cup final, losing to AFC Telford United.

The season covers the period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017.
