Lupin the 3rd Part III (Japanese: ルパン三世 PARTIII, Hepburn: Rupan Sansei Pāto Surī) is a Japanese anime television series produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha. Part of the Lupin III franchise, it is the third anime television adaptation of the Lupin III manga series created by Monkey Punch. The series aired on Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation between March 3, 1984 and November 6, 1985.^[1]

Among English-speaking fans, the series is commonly known as the "Pink Jacket" series in reference to the title character's outfit, which replaces Part I's green jacket and Part II's red jacket with a bright pink one. The feature film Legend of the Gold of Babylon (1985) was released in theaters during the original broadcast run of this television series, and was the first film in the Lupin III franchise to feature the pink jacket with the second one being the 2023 original net animation Lupin III vs. Cat's Eye.
