The Best of the Beach Boys Vol. 3 is the third in a series of compilations of hits by the Beach Boys, released on August 5, 1968, through Capitol Records. The album was primarily assembled to compensate for the poor U.S. sales of the group's Friends album. Best of the Beach Boys hit number 153 in the US during a 6-week chart stay. In the UK, it reached number 9.

Oddly, this volume contained "409" even though this song had appeared on Best of the Beach Boys Vol. 2
