G17 Plus is a liberal conservative political party in Serbia.

Its core consisted of a group of 17 experts (economists, historians, political scientists) originally formed as a NGO in 1997. The organization officially became a political party on December 16, 2002 after Miroljub Labus left the Democratic Party. Labus was the first president of the party.

At the Serbian parliamentary election, 2003, the party won 11.5% of the popular vote which translated into 34 seats (out of 250) in the Serbian parliament. Three of those seats went to the Social Democratic Party which competed on the G17 Plus' electoral list.

In March 2004, G17 Plus formed a minority government with Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) and a 2-party pre-election coalition of Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO) and New Serbia (NS).

The former speaker of National Assembly of Serbia, Predrag Marković was a member of G17 Plus. He was also constitutional interim acting president in 2004.

In May 2006 Miroljub Labus resigned from his position as party president. The new president is the former Minister of Finance of Serbia Mlađan Dinkić. Today, he is Minister of economy and regional development.

On October 1, 2006, G17 Plus announced that it was quitting the coalition government over the inability of the government at capturing the Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladić.

At the Serbian parliamentary election, 2007, G17+ received 275,041 or 6.82% of the popular vote and 19 seats in the National Assembly. It formed its own club, whose president is Mlađan Dinkić and Verica Kalanović as vice-president.
