{{2017 Lone Star Conference football standings}}

The 2017 UT Permian Basin Falcons football team represented University of Texas Permian Basin in the 2017 NCAA Division II football season. They were led by second-year head coach Justin Carrigan. The Falcons played their home games at Ratliff Stadium in Odessa, Texas, with one home game played at Grande Communications Stadium in Midland, and were members of the Lone Star Conference (LSC).

In the program's second season, the team matched its 2–9 record from the previous season and went 1–7 in conference play. The 2017 season marked many firsts for the program. On September 23, the team defeated Western New Mexico 41–32 at Altamirano Stadium in Silver City, New Mexico. The win marked several firsts for the program: first victory over a Division II opponent, first victory over an LSC opponent, and first road win. The team traveled to Division I FCS Lamar, the program's first matchup against a Division I opponent.
