The 2017 Real Tennis British Open was the 39th edition of the British Open since it became an annual event in 1979. The men's event was held at the Queen's Club in London between November 12–21, 2017 and was organised by the Tennis and Rackets Association. It was the final event in the qualifying series for the 2018 Real Tennis World Championship. The women's event was held at the Seacourt Tennis Club on Hayling Island between April 5–9, 2017.

He also won the doubles with Tim Chisholm, becoming the first male pair to complete a calendar year grand slam in doubles. In the women's draw, Claire Fahey won her fifth British Open singles title, forming part of her fifth calendar year Grand Slam. She also won the doubles with her sister Sarah Vigrass.
