The 2017–18 Welsh Alliance League, known as the Lock Stock Welsh Alliance League for sponsorship reasons, is the 34th season of the Welsh Alliance League, which consists of two divisions: the third and fourth levels of the Welsh football pyramid.

There are fifteen teams in each division, with the champions of Division 1 promoted to the Cymru Alliance and the bottom two relegated to Division 2.

The season began on 12 August 2017 and concluded on 26 May 2018.
