The 2016–17 season was Empoli Football Club's third consecutive season in Serie A. The club competed in Serie A and in the Coppa Italia. The season proved to be a slow-rolling disaster for the club, as Empoli sat in 17th place for most of the season only to suffer a poor run of form at the tail end of the season at the same time as 18th-placed Crotone enjoyed a spectacular run of results; the result was Empoli dropping into 18th place on the very last day of the season, being relegated to Serie B.
