This is a list of candidates for the 1917 New South Wales state election. The election was held on 24 March 1917.

During the previous parliament, the Labor Party had split over the conscription issue, with Premier William Holman leading many members into the new Nationalist Party, a merger of the pro-conscriptionist Labor members and the Liberal Party. Seats held by the ex-Labor Nationalists are shown as being Labor-held.
