The 2017 Monaco ePrix (formally the 2017 FIA Formula E Monaco ePrix) was a Formula E electric motor race held on 13 May 2017 at the Circuit de Monaco in Monte Carlo before a crowd of 18,000 people. It was the fifth round of the 2016–17 Formula E Championship and the second Monaco ePrix. e.Dams-Renault driver Sébastien Buemi won the 51-lap race from pole position. Lucas di Grassi finished second for Audi Sport ABT and Mahindra driver Nick Heidfeld was third.
Buemi won the pole position by recording the fastest lap in qualifying and pulled away from di Grassi until the race was neutralised on the 22nd lap when the safety car was deployed following a collision between Nelson Piquet Jr. and Jean-Éric Vergne on lap 21. All drivers elected to switch into their second cars under safety car conditions, and Buemi kept the lead at the lap 26 restart. Buemi slowed to conserve electrical energy to ensure he would be able to finish the race and di Grassi began to narrow the deficit to him in the final laps. He was unable to pass the defensive Buemi who held the lead to secure the victory.
It was Buemi's fourth victory of the season, the tenth of his career, and his second consecutive in Monaco. The result moved Buemi further ahead of di Grassi in the Drivers' Championship to 15 points while Nico Prost kept third after finishing ninth. Vergne remained in fourth despite his retirement and Sam Bird was one point closer to him in fifth place. e.Dams-Renault increased their lead in the Teams' Championship over Audi Sport ABT by a further six points and Mahindra moved from fifth to third with seven races left in the season.
