Refugee Camp All-Stars was a loosely defined American musical collective and production alias associated with the Fugees and their extended creative circle. Active primarily in the late 1990s, the name was used for various collaborations involving Wyclef Jean, John Forté, Canibus, and other affiliated artists. In some instances, the name functioned more as a production imprint than a performing group.[1]

Although they did not release any projects or studio albums under their own name, Refugee Camp All-Stars were heavily involved in Wyclef Jean's 1997 debut solo album Wyclef Jean Presents The Carnival. Their single "Avenues", featured on the soundtrack to the 1997 comedy film Money Talks, became a top 40 hit in the United States. That same year, the group also released "The Sweetest Thing" featuring Lauryn Hill, as part of the soundtrack for Love Jones.
