Benjamin Zalman-Polun, Marcel Malanga and Tyler Thompson are the three US citizens sentenced to death for the coup attempt.
Thirty-seven people - including three Americans, a Briton, a Belgian and a Canadian national - have been sentenced to death over an attempt to overthrow the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The men were accused of leading an attack on both the presidential palace and the home of an ally of President Félix Tshisekedi in May.
Christian Malanga, a US national of Congolese origin, the suspected leader of the plot, was killed during the attack, along with five others.
In total 51 people were tried in a military court, with hearings broadcast on national TV and radio.
