The Three Books of Baekje (百済三書) is the collective name for three historical books: Records of Baekje (百済記), Newly Compiled Records of Baekje (百済新撰), and Original Records of Baekje (百済本記).

All of them are historical books that record the history of Baekje, and although they are not handed down to the present, some of them are quoted only in the Nihon Shoki (日本書紀, Chronicles of Japan) and remain.

Based on the texts cited in the Nihon Shoki, it is believed that the three books recorded nearly 200 years of history spanning 15 generations of Baekje kings from King Geunchogo to King Wideok.

In the Nihon Shoki, the names of the three books are mentioned and specifically quoted in notes in a total of 26 places from the 47th year of Empress Jingū to the 17th year of Emperor Kinmei.

Specifically, the Records of Baekje contains 5 articles in the Jingū, Ōjin, and Yūryaku Chronicles, the Newly Compiled Records of Baekje contains 3 articles in the Yūryaku and Buretsu Chronicles, and the Original Records of Baekje contains 18 articles in the Keitai and Kinmei Chronicles.

The quoted texts include terms such as "emperor" (天皇) and Japan (日本)," which clearly started to be used after the latter half of the 7th century, and there are passages that can be assumed to have been altered by the compiler of the Nihon Shoki.

On the other hand, the terms cited from the three books are not unified, and the use of older terms from the period of Empress Suiko (reigned 593 - 628) suggests that the original sources are older than the Nihon Shoki. Hence, there is controversy as to how the two conflicting elements can be considered consistent.
