Elections to Angus Council were held on 4 May 2017, the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. The election used the eight wards, created under the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, with each ward electing three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system, form of proportional representation. A total of 28 councillors were elected, one less than in 2012.
Following the 2012 election the Scottish National Party formed the administration on the Council. Cllr Ian Gaul (Kirriemuir and Dean) was appointed Leader of the Council at the subsequent statutory meeting; Cllr Paul Valentine (Montrose) became Depute Leader; and Cllr Helen Oswald (Carnoustie and District) was elected Provost.
