The Yushin Maru No. 3 (第三勇新丸, Daisan Yūshin Maru) is a Japanese-registered whale catcher that undertakes whaling operations in the North Pacific Ocean and Southern Ocean. Along with other vessels of the Japanese whaling fleet she has been featured on American television, in the documentary-style reality series Whale Wars.

Yūshin Maru No. 3 was built in 2007 and replaced the Kyo Maru No. 1, which was later preserved as a museum ship in Taiji, Japan.
