The 3rd Guards 'Kotelnikovo' Tank Division (Russian: 3-я гвардейская танковая Котельниковская Краснознамённая ордена Суворова дивизия) (Military Unit Number 44181) was an armoured division of the Soviet Ground Forces, formed in 1945 and disestablished in 1989.

The division was formed from the previous 3rd Guards Tank Corps. At the beginning of the Battle of Narva (1944) in February 1944 the 3rd Guards Tank Corps was directly reporting to Leningrad Front, and was led by Major General I. A. Vovchenko.

The organisation of the division before being reduced:

Division Headquarters, Zaslonovo, Lepel, Vitebsk
430th Independent Communications Battalion
33rd Independent Guards Reconnaissance Battalion
3rd Guards Tank Regiment
18th Guards Tank Regiment
126th Guards Tank Regiment
296th Guards Motorised Rifle Regiment
733rd Artillery Regiment
256th Independent Missile Battalion
740th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment
154th Independent Engineer-Sapper Battalion
92nd Independent Equipment Maintenance and Recovery Battalion
1018th Independent Materiel Supply Battalion
160th Independent Medical Battalion
Unknown Chemical Defence Company

In June 1989 it was reduced to a Weapons and Equipment Storage Base, and in November 1989 it was disbanded completely. It spent much of the Cold War based at Zaslonovo in the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic/Belorussian Military District as part of the 7th Tank Army.
