The Meitetsu 1700 series (名鉄1700系^?) is an electric multiple unit type operated by Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) in Japan.

The 6-car trainsets were formed in 2008 by combining two cars from former 1600 series limited express EMUs with four newly-built 2300 series commuter cars. The trains entered service from the start of the revised timetable on 27 December 2008.^[2]
