The Jaguar R3 is a Formula One racing car with which Jaguar Racing competed in the 2002 Formula One season. The car was launched on 4 January 2002. It was driven by Eddie Irvine and Pedro de la Rosa, both retained from 2001. A "B Specification" car named the Jaguar R3B made its debut at the 2002 British Grand Prix and used for the remainder of the 2002 season.
This was the first Jaguar Formula One car to run on BP fuel and Castrol lubricant following Chevron's decision to pull out from the sport.
