沙尔马那塞尔三世（英语：Shalmaneser III）（？－前824年），是一位亚述国王，在位时间为公元前858年－公元前824年，其父为亚述的重要国王阿淑尔纳西尔帕二世。沙尔马那塞尔三世继续开动其父的亚述战车，一生指挥了34次战役，超过其父两倍，“沙尔马那塞尔三世”这个名字出现在铭文和编年史中的次数比任何一位亚述君主都多。他在尼姆鲁德（Nimrud）修建了巨大的要塞型宫殿，被现代考古学家称为“沙尔马那塞尔堡垒”。沙尔马那塞尔三世死于年老体衰，在其统治末年，他的一个儿子挑起了长期的叛乱和内战。

Shalmaneser III (Šulmānu-ašarēdu, "the god Shulmanu is pre-eminent") was king of Assyria (859–824 BC), and son of the previous ruler, Ashurnasirpal II.

His long reign was a constant series of campaigns against the eastern tribes, the Babylonians, the nations of Mesopotamia and Syria, as well as Kizzuwadna and Urartu. His armies penetrated to Lake Van and the Taurus Mountains; the Hittites of Carchemish were compelled to pay tribute, and the kingdoms of Hamath and Aram Damascus were subdued. It is in the annals of Shalmaneser III from the 850's BC that the Arabs and Chaldeans first appear in recorded history.
