The Third Congress of the Indonesian Democratic Party (Indonesian: Kongres III Partai Demokrasi Indonesia (PDI)) was held between 15 – 18 April 1986. Planned to end on 17 April 1986, it was extended due to riots which led to the congress's failure to decide on the Indonesian Democratic Party's new Central Executive Council (Indonesian: Dewan Pimpinan Pusat) (CEC) for the 1986-1993 period.[1]

The congress was opened on 15 April 1986 at the Sasono Langen Budoyo building, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta. The congress was attended by the president and vice president of Indonesia, Soeharto and Umar Wirahadikusumah, the ministers of the Fourth Development Cabinet, chairpersons of state organizations, ambassadors, the general chairmen of Golkar and the United Development Party, and around 1,250 participants of the congress.[2]
