"Chapter 3: The Sin" is the third episode of the first season of the American streaming television series The Mandalorian. It was written by the series' showrunner Jon Favreau and directed by Deborah Chow. The episode takes place in the Star Wars universe five years after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983). In the episode, the Mandalorian successfully delivers the Child to the Client. However, the Mandalorian feeling guilty of handing over the Child decides to rescue the latter.

The episode also features co-stars Carl Weathers, Werner Herzog, Omid Abtahi, and Emily Swallow.
