The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist Erik Satie. He claimed they were inspired by reading Gustave Flaubert's novel 'Salammbô.' They were the first compositions with which Satie tried to cut himself loose from his father and stepmother's conventional 19th-century salon music environment. Satie, who was in his early twenties at the time, had just moved from his father's residence to lodgings in Montmartre and had already started an enduring friendship with the romantic poet Patrice Contamine. When Gymnopédie No. 1 was published in August 1888, it was accompanied by a verse written by Contamine.

The work's unusual title comes from the French form of "gymnopaedia," the ancient Greek word for an annual festival where young men danced naked – or perhaps simply unarmed. The source of the title has been a subject of debate.
