The Finnish Formula Three Championship was a single seater motor racing series based in Finland. The championship used small Formula Three cars, designed to give drivers experience before moving to higher levels of motor racing. The Finnish Formula Three Championship ran from 1958–1960, 1984–1986 and 2000–2009, and for its final season in 2010 it became known as the Nordic F3 Masters.

An independent championship known as the Scandinavian & Nordic Formula Three Championship ran between 1984–1985 and 1992–2001.
