The 2016–17 season is Dinamo Zagreb's 26th season in the Croatian First Division and 105th year in existence as a football club.

This season was an extremely unsuccessful one for the club, losing both the league title and cup title to rivals HNK Rijeka and also failing to score a single goal in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League group stage, in all six matches they played.
