The Nieuport Triplanes were a series of experimental stagger-wing triplanes modified from Nieuport 10, 17 and 17bis biplanes during World War I that were built by Nieuport. The exact number built is unknown, but only three or four are known to have been evaluated by the French Army Aviation (Aviation Militaire) and the British Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). None of the aircraft were superior to the fighters already in service and they were not accepted for production.
