"The Deviants 3" is the third and final album by the UK underground group The Deviants, recorded and released in 1969.

Lead vocalist Mick Farren regards the album as the beginning of a divergence between himself and his fellow musicians, stating "I had one idea and the rest of them wanted to be a kind of Led Zeppelin guitar band". [The Deviants 3, 1999 CD issue liner notes] Soon after the band would split, with Farren going on to record the "Mona – The Carnivorous Circus" album before leaving the music business, while the others continued as the Pink Fairies.
