Soviet Formula 3 Championship was Formula 3 series held in the Soviet Union in the years 1960 to 1987.

In October 1956, the Central Automobile Club of the Soviet Union (CAMK) became a member of the FIA. As a result, CAMK representatives watched western races, including the Formula One British Grand Prix. As a result of this, it was decided to create Soviet motor sports, creating the Soviet Union championship in several racing classes, including Formula 3.

The series was cancelled because of the collapse of the Soviet Union and replaced with Russian Formula 3 series.
