III (or Sebadoh III) is the third album by Westfield, Massachusetts indie rock group Sebadoh, released in 1991. Most of the recording was done using a 4-track, which gives the album a characteristic lo-fi sound. The album was reissued in 2006 by Domino Records, complete with a second CD of extra material. The extra CD contains different recordings of Holy picture, Supernatural Force, Loose'n screw (The Freed Man), Violet Execution, Scars, Four Eyes and Attention, as well as the Gimmie Indie Rock! EP from 1991 (being the first five tracks on the extra disc).

Wonderful, Wonderful is a cover of a Johnny Mathis song.

This album is considered by many to be among the best of indie rock. In time, it went on to influence countless bands in the 1990s.
