De drie musketiers (Frans: Les trois mousquetaires) is een roman, geschreven door de Franse schrijver Alexandre Dumas. Het werd voor het eerst als boek gepubliceerd in 1844. Daarvoor schreef Dumas voor een Parijse krant regelmatig stukjes van het verhaal. Alexandre Davy de La Pailleterie Dumas, beter bekend als Alexandre Dumas p re (Villers-Cotter ts (Aisne), 24 juli 1802 - Puys (nabij Dieppe, Seine-Maritime), 5 december 1870) was een Frans dramaturg en schrijver van hoofdzakelijk historische romans. Hij schreef ook artikelen voor kranten en tijdschriften en liet een uitgebreide briefwisseling na. Dumas liet zich inspireren door bestaande verhalen, grotendeels waargebeurd, die gebundeld waren in een boek dat in de bibliotheek van Marseille stond. Hij heeft het boek daar geleend, mee naar Parijs genomen en nooit meer teruggebracht. In dit boek stonden de heldendaden beschreven van diverse legendarische musketiers uit de zeventiende eeuw. De roman speelt zich af rond 1627, ten tijde van kardinaal Richelieu en koning Lodewijk XIII. De drie musketiers (een soort van eregarde voor de Franse koning in de 17e eeuw) zijn Aramis, Athos en Porthos. Hoewel ze bekendstaan als de drie musketiers spelen hun avonturen zich af met vier personen. De vierde musketier is waarschijnlijk zelfs de bekendste: D'Artagnan.

Alexandre Dumas' classic tale, published in 1844, is retold here for younger readers. This is the story of d'Artagnan, a country boy who travels to Paris to seek his fortune and, hopefully, to join the Musketeers--the bodyguards of the King of France. He meets three musketeers called Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Together they foil a dangerous plot against King Louis and his Queen, Anne--and against their own lives.

Dumas’ klassiker fra 1844 er en højlidenskabelig pageturner om forræderi, kærlighed, retfærdighed og ikke mindst hævn. Den unge kaptajn Edmond Dante stikkes som Napoleonagent af to rivaler og havner i celle nr. 34 på fængselsøen If. Derfra tager dramaet fart, og vi følger Dante, til han mange år senere har opklaret komplottet mod sig og taget en raffineret hævn. Handlingen udspiller sig i tiden efter den franske revolution og Napoleons kejserdømme i årene 1814-38., hvor Napoleons stjerne er dalende. Denne historiske baggrund er et helt fundamentalt element i handlingen. Med Greven af Monte Cristo skabte Alexandre Dumas den moderne myte om den ædle hævner, der genopretter ro og orden. Fortællingen blev oprindelig bragt som en avisføljeton i 18 dele. Udgaven, der nu udkommer i Rosinantes klassikerserie, er suverænt oversat af Poul Einer Hansen. Pressen skriver: "Et episk sus for læsere i alle aldre ... i en herlig gendigtning. Et bjergtagende epos om kærlighed, død, straf og hævn, og en rystende beskrivelse af, hvordan en ung og i alle henseender uskyldig mand bliver offer for jalousi, misundelse og politisk rænkespil." - Jens Andersen, Weekendavisen
