The ''Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum'' is a canonical collection from late antiquity. The collection was discovered by Cuthbert Hamilton Turner. According to {{author|Turner}}, EOMIA 1.2.3, pp. 623–624, it consisted primarily of three components:

1.     Greek councils from the fourth century in Latin translation (''Interpretatio Isidori antiqua'')

2.     The canons of the Council of Serdica (342)

3.     A dossier documenting the affair regarding the African priest Apiarius (418x425).

The ''Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum'' has not survived in its original form, but it constitutes the major part of two other chronologically arranged collections, the [[Collectio Frisingensis I|''Collectio Frisingensis I'']] and the [[Collectio Wirceburgensis|''Collectio Wirceburgensis'']].

The collection emerged in several steps during the fifth century. Its place(s) of origin are highly disputed. The current title was proposed by {{author|Mordek}}, Der römische Primat p. 542 who opted for an African origin and a later reworking in Rome.

For discussion (and bibliography), see the article on the [[Collectio Frisingensis I|''Frisingensis I'']].
