Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is the third video game in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. It was developed by Neversoft and published by Activision in 2001 for the Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation. In 2002, it was published for Xbox, PC and Game Boy Advance. It is notable as the last game produced for the Nintendo 64 in North America, and for being one of the only 4 games total getting a perfect 10 at GameSpot. On the PlayStation 2 this was the first game in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series to support play over a network or the Internet.

This game introduced the revert, a trick that allowed for vert combos to be tied together with a manual. Tapping a button when landing in a quarterpipe would allow the combo to continue. (In the prior 2 games, landing in a quarterpipe would finish a combo.) The game also added hidden combos, where if you tapped a button combo in the air or performing a lip trick, a slightly different trick would be performed. (If you attempted a kickflip and double tapped the flip button, you would perform a double kickflip.) This system would later be refined in Pro Skater 4.
