De Rebus Africanis is a historical book written by The Earl of Mayo in 1883. The book focuses on the claims of Portugal to the Congo and the adjacent littoral, with additional remarks on the French annexation.

The book also delves into the conflicts and negotiations between Portugal and other European powers, particularly France, over the control of this territory.
