"View from the Vault, Volume Three" (or "View from the Vault III") is the third release in the "View from the Vault" series by the Grateful Dead. It was released simultaneously as a three disc album on CD and as a concert performance video on DVD. It contains the June 16, 1990 show at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California.

The album also includes six songs from a show at the same venue on October 3, 1987. One of these is "My Brother Esau", the first appearance of this song on an album. "My Brother Esau" had been the B-side of the "Touch of Grey" single in 1987, and was later released on the "Beyond Description" box set and on "View from the Vault, Volume Four".
