VM i ishockey 2017 - Division III var en international ishockeyturnering drevet af International Ice Hockey Federation. Den blev spillet i Sofia i Bulgarien fra den 10. til 16. april 2017.[1] Syv hold var en del af turneringen, og spillede i to grupper. Bosnien-Hercegovina trak sig fra turneringen før den begyndte, og tabte dermed 5-0 til alle sine modstandere.[2] Luxembourg vandt turneringen, ved at slå Bulgarien 10-4 i finalen, og vil derfor være med i Division IIB i 2018. Taiwan fik deres debut og fik også deres første officielle sejr, ved at slå De Forende Arabiske Emirater med 4-0.[3]
