Les Trois-Îlets ({{IPA|fr|le tʁwɑz‿ilɛ}}, literally The Three Islets; {{langx|gcf|label=Martinican Creole|Twazilé}}) is a town and commune in the French overseas department and region of Martinique.

It was the place of baptism and possibly the birthplace of Joséphine (1763–1814), who married Napoleon Bonaparte and became Empress of the French.{{Cite web|url=https://www.today.com/news/empress-humble-beginnings-martinique-wbna45686678|title = An empress' humble beginnings on Martinique| date=15 December 2011 }}
