General election: November 7, 2017
The city of Detroit, Michigan, is holding elections for mayor, city clerk, and city council in 2017. All nine members of the city council and the city clerk filed for re-election. One incumbent was eliminated in the primary election.

Primary races were held for all of the city council races except District 5, where only two candidates filed to run. In the other races, the fields were narrowed to two candidates each (the at-large race was narrowed from five candidates to four). All of the incumbents except one advanced from the primary to the general. In District 2, Councilman George Cushingberry Jr. was knocked out the race by Roy McCalister Jr. and former state legislator Virgil Smith. City Clerk Janice Winfrey faced six challengers in the primary election and advanced to the general with Garlin Gilchrist II. Winfrey was first elected in 2005.
