The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) registered "brief increases" in hate crime reports following attacks at Westminster, Manchester and London Bridge, but not after Finsbury Park.
The incidents were reported to forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
NPCC hate crime lead, Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton, said reports "quickly subsided within a few days".
There have been four terror attacks in Britain in 2017 - at Westminster Bridge in London on 22 March, Manchester Arena on 22 May, London Bridge on 3 June and at Finsbury Park in London on 19 June.
Police recorded 234 hate crime incidents two days after the Westminster attack, 273 reports two days after Manchester and 319 reports two days after London Bridge.
Police said in 2016 there were on average 171 hate crimes per day - although this could be higher on weekends, where more hate crimes tended to be reported, or after specific events such as protest marches.
In the week after each attack, hate crime reports increased by 12% after Westminster, 50% after Manchester and 34% after London Bridge.
By contrast, hate crime reports were 7% lower in the week after the Finsbury Park attack, the NPCC said.
Police said race or faith hate crime comprised the vast majority of reports.
But the NPCC added that analysis of the data was "ongoing" and that year-on-year comparisons should be viewed with caution - last year, for example, hate crime reports increased after the EU referendum vote in June.
ACC Hamilton said the figures were nevertheless a "real concern for the police service and wider society".
He said: "We know that terrorist attacks and other national and global events have the potential to trigger short-term spikes in hate crime and so we have been carefully monitoring community tensions following recent horrific events.
"As terrorists seek to divide us, it is more important than ever that we continue to stand united in the face of hostility and hatred."

Mourners wore Chelsea and Cambridge United colours to celebrate the life of Tommi Miller, who was eight.
Terry met Chelsea fan Tommi last year, and when he was told of the boy's death he volunteered to pay for the service.
Tommi was laid to rest near his Cambridge home in a Chelsea-blue casket bearing the club logo.
Tommi, who was diagnosed with leukaemia aged three, died last month after a bone marrow transplant proved unsuccessful.

Family friend Tawney Bianca Toogood contacted Terry on Instagram to tell him the boy he had been photographed with had died.
When she explained the family could not afford the funeral they wanted for their son, the former England captain got in touch with the funeral parlour and covered the full Â£1,600 costs.
Tommi's mother Ruth said she was "overwhelmed" by the gesture and "very proud" the footballer - one of her son's favourite players - remembered him.
Most of the arrangements for Tommi's funeral were made by Mrs Toogood's mother Mally Beaver, and sister Chelsea.
The families became friends after meeting on the cancer ward at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
"My father battled leukaemia for just 12 weeks, but Tommi fought it for five years," Mrs Beaver said.
"His family found times tough and we did everything we could to help them out."
When Tommi died the Beaver family, from the travelling community, reached out to other travellers for help.
"Roo and Kevin [Tommi's father] aren't from the community, but everyone took them to their hearts," Mrs Beaver said.
Travellers from as far afield as Canada, Australia, Scotland, Lancaster and Harlow raised more than Â£4,000 to help towards "a celebration of Tommi's life".
As well as the specially-made casket, Mrs Beaver arranged for 100 blue balloons to be released at the service, and had 100 blue roses brought over from Holland "to make it special for him".
The extra money raised will be put towards a headstone for Tommi's grave.
Hate crime reports surged in the days immediately after three terror attacks in the UK this year, police data shows.
