Pennsylvania's 17th congressional district is located in southwestern Pennsylvania, which includes the entirety ofBeaver County and the northwestern parts ofAllegheny County not part of the12th district. It has been represented since January 3, 2023 byDemocratChris Deluzio.

In January 2018, theSupreme Court of Pennsylvania ruled that the 2011 map violated the state constitution andredrew it on February 18, 2018. What was the 17th district, which had been anchored in Northeast Pennsylvania, was modified to become the9th district, and the old12th district likewise became the 17th, for the 2018 elections and representation thereafter until the current map was ordered on February 23, 2022.^[3][4][5] In the2020 redistricting cycle, its portion ofButler County, includingCranberry Township, was removed from the district, while it gained some eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh, such asForest Hills andWilkinsburg.
