Tite and Bérénice is a Play of Pierre Corneille inspired by the ancient Rome, more particularly of the history of love linking the emperor Titus (called Tite here) with the queen of Palestine Bérénice. It was represented with the Théâtre of the Palais Royal the November 28th 1670.

The part is contemporary Bérénice of Jean Racine, represented with the Hôtel of Burgundy. The comparison of these two tragedies inspired by the same subject was done with the detriment of that of Crow, of which it was one of the last parts.
