The 1917 North Carolina A&M Aggies football team represented the North Carolina A&M Aggies of North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts during the 1917 college football season. In Harry Hartsell's first season (and first stint, as he would leave and then return for the 1921–1923 seasons), the coach managed to garner a winning record for the Aggies for the first time since the 1913 SAIAA champion team, and tied the record for most wins in a season at 6 (other 6-win seasons as of 1917 were 1907–09, and 1913).
