Miecław's State (Polish pronunciation: [ˈmjɛ.t͡swaf]; Polish: Państwo Miecława) was an 11th-century country located in Mazovia, in Central Europe, with the capital in Płock. It was formed around 1037 by Miecław by breaking away from the Duchy of Poland during the crisis inside the country. It existed until 1047, when Casimir I the Restorer, duke of Poland, reconquered the state.
