HaMerotz LaMillion 3 is the third season of HaMerotz LaMillion (Hebrew: המירוץ למיליון, lit. The Race to the Million), an Israeli reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Hosted by Ron Shahar, it featured eleven teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world to win 1,000,000. This season visited four continents and seven countries and traveled over 37,000 kilometres (23,000 mi) during thirteen legs. Starting in Haifa, racers traveled through Israel, Spain, France, Brazil, Cuba, the United States, and Taiwan before finishing in Taipei. New twists introduced in this season include the Double U-Turn, with the recipients of a U-Turn Vote allowed to use the U-Turn on another team; the Intersection; the no-rest leg; and the Salvage Pass, which was awarded to the winners of the second leg and gave them a choice between a head start in the next leg or saving the last team from elimination. The season premiered on 11 May 2013 on Channel 2 and the finale aired on 31 August 2013.

Newlyweds Talia Gorodess and Koby Windzberg were the winners of this season, while sisters Romi and Coral Gemer finished in second place and cousins Ma'ayan Refaeli and Bat-El Musai finished in third place.
