William the Third (1898–1917) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. After finishing unplaced on his only race as a two-year-old in 1900 he won five times in 1901 as well as finishing second in the Epsom Derby. He reached his peak as a four-year-old winning five consecutive races including the Ascot Gold Cup Queen Alexandra Stakes and Doncaster Cup. His career was ended by injury in early 1903 and he was retired to stud where he had considerable success as a sire of winners.
