The 2016–17 ISU Junior Grand Prix is the 20th season of a series of junior international competitions organized by the International Skating Union. It is the junior-level complement to the 2016–17 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. Skaters are competing for medals in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing, as well as for qualifying points. The top six skaters or teams from each discipline will meet at the 2016–17 Junior Grand Prix Final, to be held together with the senior final.

The locations of the JGP events change yearly. In the 2016–17 season, the series is composed of the following events in autumn 2016:[1]

Qualifying
Skaters who reach the age of 13 by July 1, 2016 but have not turned 19 (singles and females of the other two disciplines) or 21 (male pair skaters and ice dancers) are eligible to compete on the junior circuit. Unlike the senior Grand Prix, skaters for the JGP are not seeded by the ISU. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member federation is determined by their skaters' placements at the previous season's Junior World Championships in each discipline.[10]
Overview
The series began in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France, on 25 August 2016. On the same day, less than an hour before the start of the ladies' short program, a shuttle bus was involved in an accident, resulting in injuries to two skaters, Anna Tarusina (Russia) and Anželika Kļujeva (Latvia), and their coaches.[11] Making their first JGP appearances, Russia's Roman Savosin and Alina Zagitova won the men's and ladies' titles, respectively. Competing in their fourth JGP season, French ice dancers Angélique Abachkina / Louis Thauron won their first gold medal.

JGP Final qualification standings
Qualification rules
At each event, skaters earn points toward qualification for the Junior Grand Prix Final. Following the 7th event, the top six highest scoring skaters advance to the Final. The points earned per placement are as follows:[10]
| Placement | Points (Singles) | Points (Pairs/Dance) |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | 15 | 15 |
| 2nd | 13 | 13 |
| 3rd | 11 | 11 |
| 4th | 9 | 9 |
| 5th | 7 | 7 |
| 6th | 5 | 5 |
| 7th | 4 | 4 |
| 8th | 3 | 3 |
| 9th | 2 | – |
| 10th | 1 | – |
There are seven tie-breakers in cases of a tie in overall points:[10]
- Highest placement at an event. If a skater placed 1st and 3rd, the tiebreaker is the 1st place, and that beats a skater who placed 2nd in both events.
- Highest combined total scores in both events. If a skater earned 200 points at one event and 250 at a second, that skater would win in the second tie-break over a skater who earned 200 points at one event and 150 at another.
- Participated in two events.
- Highest combined scores in the free skating/free dancing portion of both events.
- Highest individual score in the free skating/free dancing portion from one event.
- Highest combined scores in the short program/short dance of both events.
- Highest number of total participants at the events.
If there is still a tie, it is considered unbreakable and the tied skaters all advance to the Junior Grand Prix Final.
