The Polish–Swedish War (1617–1618) is a phase of the longer Polish–Swedish War of 1600 to 1629.

It continues the war of 1600–1611 and is an attempt by Sweden to take Polish pressure off Russia.

The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth is now also fighting Tartars and (on the southern front) the Ottoman Empire.

Russia and Sweden are at this stage allied, prior to the Ingrian War, part of the Polish-Muscovite Wars.

The 1617–18 war's cause is a dispute over Livonia and Estonia, and a dispute between Sigismund III Vasa and Charles IX of Sweden over the Swedish throne.
