The 2017 No Mercy was the 13th and until the September 17th, 2023 event, final No Mercy professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division. The event took place on September 24, 2017, at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. No Mercy was discontinued after the 2017 event as following WrestleMania 34 in 2018, WWE discontinued brand-exclusive PPVs, resulting in the reduction of yearly PPVs produced. The event would return in 2023 as a Smackdown Exclusive PPV.

Eight matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, Braun Strowman defeated then World Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns to capture his first World Heavyweight Championship. In another marquee match, Samoa Joe would defeat John Cena. In other prominent matches, Enzo Amore would defeat Akira Tozawa and Neville to capture the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defeated Sheamus and Cesaro once again in a now infamous Tag Team Title match where Cesaro would suffer a gruesome tooth injury following a slingshot into the LED Ring Post caused his two front teeth to be shoved into his gums, and Sasha Banks defeated Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss to retain her RAW Women's Championship in a Triple Threat Match.
