Port Tarascon (French: Port-Tarascon) is an 1890 novel written by French author Alphonse Daudet, the third and final instalment of the heroic comic trilogy of Tartarin, which caricatures the exuberant and boastful Provençal character.
Henry James famously translated Daudet's book for Harper's New Monthly Magazine (June–November 1890). The novel was published by Harper & Brothers soon afterwards.
