Devon League 3 was an English level eleven rugby union league for clubs based in Devon. The champions were promoted to Devon League 2 and, as this was the lowest division in club rugby within Devon, there was no relegation. The league was introduced ahead of the 1996–97 season and ran for seven seasons until it was cancelled at the end of the 2002–03 season, with all teams promoted into Devon League 2.
