Herts/Middlesex 3 was a tier 11 English Rugby Union league that was organized by the London and South East Division Rugby Football Union. It was the third division competition for clubs in Hertfordshire and Middlesex with promoted teams moving up to Herts/Middlesex 2. It involved a number of formats over the years, switching between a single division and regional (north/south) divisions and during certain years there was relegation to Herts/Middlesex 4 (when in existence). Herts/Middlesex 3 folded at the end of the 2013-14 season with most teams being promoted automatically to Herts/Middlesex 2.
