The 2016–17 Grand Canyon Antelopes women's basketball team represented Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona, during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. It was head coach Trent May's tenth season at Grand Canyon. The Antelopes competed as members of the Western Athletic Conference and played their home games at GCU Arena. The 2016–17 season was year 4 of a 4-year transitional period for Grand Canyon from D2 to D1. In years 2–4, Grand Canyon was classified as a D1 school for scheduling purposes. They played a full conference schedule, and they could win the regular season conference title. However Grand Canyon could not participate in the conference tourney until the 2017–18 season, at which time they would also be able to enter the NCAA tournament, should they win the conference. Grand Canyon was eligible to participate in the WBI or WNIT should they be invited. They finished the season 15–12, 7–7 in WAC play to finish in fifth place.
On March 7, 2017, it was announced that Trent May would not return as head coach. He finished at Grand Canyon with a 10 year record of 195–96.
