Mazurkas, Op. 17 is a set of four mazurkas for solo piano by Frédéric Chopin, composed in 1832–1833 and published in 1834. The set was dedicated to Lina Freppa.

Frédéric Chopin composed his Op. 17 mazurkas in 1832–33 and they were his first set to be written in Paris. Chopin had just recently settled in France, as he had become a refugee from Poland, however, he hoped he could move back to his homeland when the political situation changed. This hope was never realized and he was never able to return.

Even though Chopin had moved away from his homeland, he never forgot his Polish roots and this set demonstrates his homesickness and deep longing for Poland.
