The Place de la Comedie is a square in Montpellier. It is at the southeast point
of the city centre, where the fortifications of the city were formerly located.

The square is first mentioned in 1755 and is named after a theatre that burned down in 1785 and 1855.

At the centre of the square is a fountain, the Three Graces, built by sculptor Etienne d'Antoine in 1790.
