"QR III" is a studio album released by American heavy metal band Quiet Riot. The name of this recording is short for "Quiet Riot III", and was released in 1986. Despite the title, this is actually the band's fifth album; however it was on their third major label/released-outside-Japan album.

The lead single, "The Wild And The Young", is a stadium hymn to the energy of youth and its accompanying video painted an Orwellian picture of a future, where totalitarian militarists fought to wipe out rock'n'roll, a reference to the current Senate hearings concerning explicit language in heavy metal songs.
