Wisconsin's Grant County 3rd Assembly district was a district in the Wisconsin State Assembly for several years in the early history of the state of Wisconsin, prior to the legislative redistricting reforms of 1972 which created the current numbered districts. Located in southwest Wisconsin, the district was one of the 66 original Assembly districts defined in Article XIV of the Constitution of Wisconsin. The Constitution originally allocated four districts for Grant County, Wisconsin; the 3rd district originally comprised south-central Grant County.

The district was in use for the first 44 years of Wisconsin's history, from 1848 to 1892.
