#### Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study three-dimensional conformally flat quasi-para-Sasakian manifolds. First, the necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for three-dimensional quasipara-Sasakian manifolds to be conformally flat. Next, a characterization of three-dimensional conformally flat quasi-para-Sasakian manifold is given. Finally, a method for constructing examples of three-dimensional conformally flat quasi-para-Sasakian manifolds is presented.
