The Tyrrell 017 was a Formula One vehicle engineered by Maurice Philippe and Brian Lisles for the season, also participating in the initial race of . Constructed by Tyrrell Racing, it continued to employ a customer Cosworth DFZ V8 engine, as utilized in the preceding model. The driver roster for 1988 included British racers Jonathan Palmer and newcomer Julian Bailey; in 1989, Bailey was succeeded by Michele Alboreto, coinciding with an upgrade to the more potent Cosworth DFR engine.

Evolving from the accomplished Tyrrell DG016—which had earned the 'Colin Chapman Cup' as the leading naturally aspirated constructor and saw Palmer claim the 'Jim Clark Cup' as the atmospheric Drivers' Champion—the 017 did not meet expectations. Bailey was unable to score points and failed to qualify for ten events, whereas Palmer secured all five points for Tyrrell, resulting in an eighth-place finish in the Constructors' Championship.

In 1989, slight enhancements produced the 017B version, which was only utilized during the season's opening race. Due to ongoing lack of competitiveness, this model was replaced by the Tyrrell 018 starting from the San Marino Grand Prix.
