The 2017–18 Duleep Trophy was the 56th season of the Duleep Trophy, a first-class cricket tournament in India.[1] It took place between 7 and 29 September 2017, with all of the matches being played as day/night fixtures.[2] India Blue were the defending champions.[3]

Initially, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had cancelled the tournament because of fixture congestion in both India's domestic and international calendar,[4] but it was restored shortly after the original announcement. India Red qualified for the final, after winning their first game and drawing the second.[5] The final round-robin match between India Blue and India Green ended in a draw, after three of the four days were washed out with no play possible.[6] India Blue progressed to the final, as a result of their earlier drawn game against India Red.[6] India Red won the tournament by beating India Blue by 163 runs in the final.[7]
