The 2017 FIBA U16 Women's Asian Championship was the qualifying tournament for FIBA Asia at the 2018 FIBA Under-17 Women's Basketball World Cup. Originally slated to be held at Hyderabad, the tournament venue was moved and held in Bengaluru, India from October 22 to 28.
Australia stormed back from a 13-point deficit in the third quarter to eke out a come-from-behind 61–60 win against Japan in the Finals, notching their first-ever championship in the tournament. Meanwhile, dethroned defending champions China salvaged the bronze medal after dispatching New Zealand, 60–43.
All these teams will represent FIBA Asia at the next year's FIBA U17 Women's World Cup to be held in Belarus.
