G17 Plus is a liberal conservative political party in Serbia. Its core consists of a group of 17 economists, led by Miroljub Labus, and since 1997 it functioned as a non-governmental organization and a pressure group before it officially became a political party on December 16, 2002.

At the last legislative elections, on December 28, 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).

Speaker of National Assembly of Serbia, Predrag Markovic is member of G17 Plus. He was also constitutional interim acting president in 2004.

In May 2006 President Miroljub Labus resigned on that position. The new likely to become president is the current deputy Mladjan Dinkic.
