Shorts, Volume 3 was a release from Rhino Entertainment featuring seven popular shorts from Mystery Science Theater 3000. It was originally released as a limited bonus with The Essentials DVD set if the set was ordered through a special website offer. The offer is no longer valid, and Shorts, Volume 3 has since gone out-of-print.

The seven shorts featured are:

• "Speech: Using Your Voice"
• "Aquatic Wizards"
• "Is This Love?"
• "Design For Dreaming"
• "The Selling Wizard"
• "Out of This World"
• "Once Upon a Honeymoon"

"The Selling Wizard" was later re-released with its original episode, The Dead Talk Back, as part of Volume 8. "Is This Love?" got a similar treatment with Teen-Age Strangler, which was released in Volume 10, and then again in the revised Volume 10.2. "Once Upon a Honeymoon" jumped distribution companies to be re-released via Shout Factory with Night of the Blood Beast included on Volume 16.
