The 2017 Staffordshire County Council election was held on 4 May 2017, concurrently with other local elections across England. All seats on the Staffordshire County Council were contested, with each electoral division returning one councillor by first‑past‑the‑post voting.
The election determined the composition of the council for the statutory four‑year term beginning in 2017. The Conservative Party retained overall control of the council, continuing its administration that had been in place since the previous election in 2013. The Labour Party remained the principal opposition, while the Liberal Democrats and other parties or independent candidates also contested a number of divisions.
The results were part of the broader 2017 United Kingdom local elections, which included elections for other county councils, unitary authorities, district councils, and parish councils. Voter turnout varied across divisions, reflecting typical patterns for local elections in England, but specific turnout percentages for Staffordshire County Council were not uniformly reported.
No significant procedural changes or boundary revisions were introduced for this election; it was conducted under the existing electoral framework established for County Council elections in England. The elected councillors assumed their duties on the council's first meeting following the election, where the political composition determined the allocation of committee chairs and the leadership of the council.
