Boscotrecase (; ; "Three-House Grove") is a town and municipality of 9,790 inhabitants in the metropolitan city of Naples in Campania, Italy.
Before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Boscotrecase was home to Roman villas, such as the Villa of Agrippa Postumus. In 1337, three monasteries were founded in the area, which led to the formation of the town. Through the centuries, multiple feudal lords oversaw the town. In the late 19th Century, the town suffered from brigands. Lava flows from Mount Vesuvius and almost destroyed the town in 1906.
