Trois Novelettes (Three Novelettes ) are three short pieces for piano composed by Francis Poulenc.

The first two novelettes, in C major and B-flat minor, FP 47, written in 1927 and 1928 respectively, were originally published together. The third, in E minor, FP 173, was written in 1959. These novelettes demonstrate multi-layered piano writing.[ citation needed ]

Poulenc premiered his first two novelettes at a concert in Paris on 10 June 1928.
