Pousette-Dart Band 3 is the third album by the American rock band Pousette-Dart Band, released in 1978. It drew a mostly positive review from Joe Viglione of Allmusic, who gave it 3 stars. "Out of the four albums released by the Pousette-Dart Band on Capitol," he said, "Pousette-Dart Band 3 may be the most satisfying." Viglione noted Buffalo Springfield as an influence and considered the album's second side "extraordinary." He said it was "an album that truly deserves a better fate than obscurity."
