The Triumph TR3 is a sports car produced between 1955 and 1962 by Standard-Triumph in England. The car was built in Coventry, England; Melbourne, Australia; Liege, Belgium; Mechelen, Belgium; and South Africa.

The facelifted variant, popularly but unofficially known as the TR3A, entered production in 1957 and the final version, unofficially the TR3B, was produced in 1962.

The car was powered by a 1991 cc straight-4 OHV engine initially producing 95 bhp through a four-speed manual gearbox which could be supplemented by an overdrive unit on the top three ratios, electrically operated and controlled by a switch on the dashboard. After 1956 the TR3 was fitted with disc brakes as standard, the first production car to do so.

In 1957 the TR3 was updated with various changes including a full width radiator grille (this facelifted model was commonly referred to as the Triumph "TR3A"). The engine output was increased to 100hp.

he "Triumph TR3B" is an unofficial name given to the final version of the TR3, which was produced in 1962. Externally unchanged, it had a 2138cc engine giving 105hp
