The 2016–17 William & Mary Tribe women's basketball team represented The College of William & Mary during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Tribe, led by fourth year head coach Ed Swanson, played their home games at Kaplan Arena and were members of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). They finished the season 20–11, 9–9 in CAA play to finish in fifth place, although they were seeded fourth in the CAA women's tournament.{{efn|An investigation by the CAA revealed that Charleston had supplied improperly sized basketballs in their home wins over W&M and UNCW. The CAA ruled that these games would be treated as Charleston losses for tournament seeding purposes.{{cite news|url=http://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/18605941/improper-basketballs-lead-colonial-athletic-association-affect-tournament-seeding |title=Use of improper basketballs to affect CAA tourney seeding |first=Graham |last=Hays |work=ESPN.com |date=February 2, 2017 |accessdate=February 2, 2017}} This gave W&M a 10–8 record for seeding purposes, putting them into a fourth-place tie with Delaware in which W&M held the tiebreaker.}} They advanced to the quarterfinals of the CAA tournament, losing there to Elon. Despite having 20 wins, they were not invited to a postseason tournament.
