The 2017 Kildare Senior Football Championship is the 124th edition of the Kildare GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Kildare, Ireland. The tournament consists of 16 teams with the winner going on to represent Kildare in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship has a back-door format for the first two rounds before proceeding to a knock-out format. Generally, any team to lose two matches will be knocked out of the championship.

Sarsfields were the defending champions after they defeated town rivals Moorefield in the previous years final, however their Newbridge town rivals exacted their revenge when dethroning them at the quarter-final stage.

This was the Round Tower's return to the senior grade after 4 years in the middle grade.

Allenwood were relegated to the 2018 I.F.C. after losing to Eadestown in the Relegation Final, and thus ending their 27 year stay in the top-flight of Kildare club football.
