The Latécoère 17 was a French airliner built in 1923 for use on Latécoère's own airline on routes between France and Morocco. The prototype was designated the Latécoère 14, reusing the number of an unrelated earlier design that had been rejected. This new aircraft was a parasol-wing monoplane of conventional configuration with an enclosed cabin for five passengers and an open cockpit for the pilot. This was to be Latécoère's first truly successful design, and as production continued, a range of different engines were fitted.

Lignes Aériennes Latécoère flew most of these aircraft on its routes between France and Morocco. However, eight were used for services to South America, and two on a temporary domestic route between Perpignan, Marseille, and Toulouse.
