The 2017–18 Ligue Magnus season was the 97th season of the Ligue Magnus, the top level of ice hockey in France. The regular season ran from 10 September 2017 to 20 February 2018. The Dragons de Rouen finished atop the standings. The postseason ran from 23 February to 27 March 2018. The Dragons de Rouen defeated the Brûleurs de Loups 4 games to 0 for the league championship. Étoile Noire de Strasbourg was relegated to Division 1 at the end of the season.
Membership changes Pionniers de Chamonix-Morzine was scheduled to be relegated to Division 1. However, after the season, Ducs de Dijon declared bankruptcy and were removed from the league. As a result, Chamonix-Morzine remained in the league while Scorpions de Mulhouse replaced Dijon.
The Pionniers de Chamonix-Morzine was dissolved when the two parent teams (Pionniers de Chamonix Mont-Blanc and Pingouins de Morzine-Avoriaz) ended their one-year merger. Chamonix Mont-Blanc remained in Ligue Magnus while Morzine-Avoriaz became members of Division 1.
