Quintet in E-flat for Piano and Winds, Op. 16, was written by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1796.

The quintet is scored for piano, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon. It is alleged to be inspired by Mozart's Quintet, K. 452 (1784), which has the same scoring and is also in E-flat.

It is in three movements:

  1. Grave - Allegro ma non troppo (E major)
  2. Andante cantabile (B major)
  3. Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo (E major)

The performance takes around 23–27 minutes.
