The 2016–17 Memphis Grizzlies season was the 22nd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

The Grizzlies finished the regular season with a 43–39 record, securing the 7th seed. In the playoffs, they faced off against the San Antonio Spurs in the First Round, where they lost in six games. Following the season, Zach Randolph signed as a free agent with the Sacramento Kings , along with Vince Carter . Tony Allen also left the team following the season, signing with the New Orleans Pelicans as a free agent.
