The 2017 World Junior Figure Skating Championships is an international figure skating competition in the 2016–17 season. Commonly called "World Juniors" and "Junior Worlds", the event will determine the World Junior champions in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.

Qualification

Skaters from all ISU member nations were eligible for the competition if they were at least 13 years old but not 19—or 21 for male pair skaters and ice dancers—before 1 July 2016 in their place of birth. National associations select their entries according to their own criteria but the ISU mandates that their selections achieve a minimum technical elements score (TES) at an international event prior to the World Junior Championships.

The term "Junior" in ISU competition refers to age, not skill level. Skaters may remain age-eligible for Junior Worlds even after competing nationally and internationally at the senior level. At junior events, the ISU requires that all programs conform to junior-specific rules regarding program length, jumping passes, types of elements, etc.
