Three Songs is a set of songs for voice and piano composed in 1926 by John Ireland (1879–1962). It consists of settings of three poems by various poets.
A typical performance of the three songs as a set takes 8 minutes. The poems are:
- "Love and Friendship" (Emily Brontë (1818–48), from Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey)
- "Friendship in Misfortune" (poet not identified)
- "The One Hope" (Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–82), from Poems (1870))
