The Chieftains 3 is the third album released by the Irish musical group The Chieftains in 1971.

The tight formula of the first two albums loosened up on the third album. For the first time there was a mazurka (which on the original vinyl release, on the record itself, was erroneously labelled "Sonny's Maxurka"). There is still no singing, but Pat Kilduff added lilting on two tracks.
