The 2017 Big 12 Conference baseball tournament was held from May 24 through 28 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The annual tournament determines the conference champion of the Division I Big 12 Conference for college baseball.

Among original members, Baylor and Kansas State have never won the event. Iowa State discontinued its program after the 2001 season without having won a title. Having joined in 2013, TCU won their first title in 2014 while West Virginia has yet to win the Tournament.
