The 2016–17 NJIT Highlanders women's basketball team represented New Jersey Institute of Technology during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Highlanders, led by fifth-year head coach Steve Lanpher, played their home games at the Fleisher Center in Newark, New Jersey as second-year members of the Atlantic Sun Conference (A-Sun). They finished the season 11–19, 4–10 in A-Sun play, to finish in fifth place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the A-Sun tournament to Kennesaw State.
This was their last season playing at Fleisher Center as they moved in to the newly built Wellness and Events Center beginning in the 2017–18 season.
