German submarine U-3010 was a Type XXI U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine.[3]

Her keel was laid down on 13 July 1944 by DeSchiMAG AG Weser of Bremen. She was commissioned on 11 November 1944 with Oberleutnant zur See Eberhard Ebert in command. Ebert handed over to Fregattenkapitän Erich Topp (Knight's Cross) on 9 March 1945, who commanded the boat until 26 April 1945.[2] U-3010 conducted no war patrols. On 3 May 1945, she was scuttled at Kiel to prevent her from falling into Allied hands. The wreck was subsequently broken up.
