Download Series Volume 3 is a live album by the rock band Grateful Dead. It was recorded on October 26, 1971, at the Palestra in Rochester, New York, and released as a digital download on July 5, 2005.^[1][2]

This marks the fifth show with new keyboardist Keith Godchaux, who joined the band due to Ron "Pigpen" McKernan's declining health.

The album was mastered in HDCD by Jeffrey Norman.
