The author proves that every conformal foliation, transversely analytic, of codimension at most three on a compact connected manifold is either transversely Möbius or Riemannian. This theorem can be seen as a generalization of the Ferrand-Obata theorem [see \textit{M. Obata}, J. Differ. Geom. 6, 247--258 (1971; Zbl 0236.53042), \textit{J. Ferrand} C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. A 269, 583--586 (1969; Zbl 0201.09701), Math. Ann. 304, No. 2, 277--291 (1996; Zbl 0866.53027)].
