Bloons Tower Defense 3 (also referred to with the retronyms Bloons TD 3 and BTD3) is an Adobe Flash game in the Bloons TD series that released in 2008. It is built on Bloons Tower Defense 2 and shares many assets, but it introduces several new features. Most notably, all towers can now be upgraded twice per upgrade path (with the exception of the Monkey Beacon), when previous games only had one upgrade per path. This game also features 8 tracks (though only the first four are accessible in the MochiGames, Newgrounds, and Kongregate releases), two new tower types, a new placeable item, and two new Bloon types, and allows the player to choose tracks and difficulty separately.

BTD3 is the first Bloons TD game to be ported to other platforms. A version for iOS developed by Digital Goldfish released in 2009 and versions for the Nintendo DSi and PlayStation Portable released in 2011. These ports are simply named Bloons TD.
