Les Trois Africaines is a one-act comedy by an unknown author, for no other information is provided by the source, Bosman (1928, p.90). (Apparently Bosman's source wrongly lists the title as Le Trois Africaines.)

It may possibly be a version of Les Nègres, a comedy in one act and in prose, by Louis-Edme Billardon de Sauvigny (1783).
