The 2016–17 season was Futbol Club Barcelona's 117th in existence and the club's 86th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football. Barcelona was involved in four competitions after winning the double of La Liga and the Copa del Rey in the previous season. This would be the final season under head coach Luis Enrique as he decided to let his contract expire.

Barcelona kicked off the season with en emphatic 5–0 aggregate victory over Sevilla in the Supercopa de España, but the rest of the season was more mixed. The most memorable highlights were the historic 6–1 comeback win against Paris Saint-Germain in the return leg of the Champions League round of 16, overturning the heavy 0–4 away defeat, and the 3–2 last-minute away league victory in El Clásico over Real Madrid on 23 April, courtesy of a Lionel Messi strike. However, these performances did not yield trophies in the aforementioned competitions, as Barça was shut down by Juventus in the Champions League quarter-finals (0–3 away, 0–0 home) and lost the league title to Real Madrid by three points. The only consolation was a third consecutive Copa del Rey win on 27 May against Alavés.

The season was the first without Dani Alves since 2007–08, who departed to Juventus, though he returned for a second spell in the 2021–22 season.
