The 2016–17 Cypriot Third Division was the 46th season of the Cypriot third-level football league. P.O. Xylotymbous won their 1st title.
Format Sixteen teams participated in the 2016–17 Cypriot Third Division. All teams played against each other twice, once at their home and once away. The team with the most points at the end of the season crowned champions.
