The M3 motorway (Hungarian: M3-as autópálya) is a Hungarian motorway connecting Budapest to Nyíregyháza. It will eventually connect Budapest to the Ukrainian border. Two other motorways branch off it, the M30 (connecting the M3 to Miskolc) and the M35 (connecting the M3 to Debrecen). The M3 follows the route of route 3, and, later, route 4.

The latest section of the motorway, the one between Highway 49 and Vásárosnamény was opened to the public in 2014.[1] The total length of the motorway now is 281 km.
