Point Afrique is a French tour operator operating services between France and North and West Africa. The company does not have aircraft of its own, but instead leases them from other carriers, mostly commonly the A320 from Air Mediterranee.

The airline's service has opened up previously remote destinations, such as the Sahara Desert towns of Agadez, Niger and Atar, Mauritania, to large-scale tourism. However, their service is still haphazard and their flights operate only with sufficient capacity or they may combine destinations on the same flight at the last minute.

Point-Afrique was launched in 1996.
