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

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 and the Collectio Wirceburgensis.
