In Your House 3 (retroactively titled In Your House 3: Triple Header) was the third In Your House professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It took place on September 24, 1995, at the Saginaw Civic Center in Saginaw, Michigan. The PPV portion of the show featured six matches in total, while four dark matches also occurred. With the launch of the WWE Network in 2014, the PPV section became available to subscribers to view on demand.

The main event of the show featured all three active championships in the WWF at the time being defended. The WWF Champion Diesel teamed up with the WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels, and they were slated to take on the reigning WWF Tag Team Champions Yokozuna and Owen Hart in a match where the person who was pinned would lose the championship. As part of the storyline, the WWF replaced Owen Hart with The British Bulldog, due to Hart's wife being in labor. In the end, Owen Hart did appear at the show and was pinned to end the match, but since he was not deemed the legal man in the match, the next night on Raw, the WWF Tag Team Championship was awarded back to Hart and Yokozuna.

In Your House 3 was the first WWF PPV of the Monday Night War era of September 4, 1995, to March 26, 2001. During this time, WWF's Raw and World Championship Wrestling's Nitro competed for ratings in a weekly Monday night time slot, now widely seen as the "golden age" of pro-wrestling.
