Neomycin/polymyxin B/bacitracin, also known as triple antibiotic ointment, is a medication used to try to decrease the risk of infections following minor skin injuries and to treat superficial bacterial eye infections. It contains three antibiotics: neomycin, polymyxin B, and bacitracin. It is generally less preferred than bacitracin/polymyxin B. It is either applied to the skin or used as eye drops.

Common side effects include itchiness and skin rash. More severe side effects may include hearing loss. Use in pregnancy is generally not recommended. It is relatively broad spectrum, being effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.

The combination was approved for medical use in the United States in 1971. It is available over the counter in the United States. In 2017, it was the 78th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than ten million prescriptions. It is sold under the brand name Neosporin among others.
