Warriors Orochi 3, originally released as Musō Orochi 2 (無双OROCHI 2, Musō Orochi Tsū) in Japan, is a 2011 hack and slash video game developed by Tecmo Koei and Omega Force for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This is the fourth installment of the crossover series Warriors Orochi, a combination of the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series. This installment serves as a sequel to Warriors Orochi 2. The game was released in Japan in 2011, and in Europe and North America in 2012 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360).

There are two ports of the game: Musou Orochi 2: Special (Musō Orochi 2: Special (無双OROCHI 2 Special, Musō Orochi Tsū Special)), released in 2012 for PlayStation Portable exclusively in Japan, and Warriors Orochi 3: Hyper (Musō Orochi 2: Hyper (無双OROCHI 2 Hyper, Musō Orochi Tsū Hyper)), which was released as a launch title for the Wii U for Japan, North America, and Europe. An updated version, Warriors Orochi 3: Ultimate (Musō Orochi 2: Ultimate (無双OROCHI 2 Ultimate, Musō Orochi Tsū Ultimate)), was released for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita in Japan in 2013 with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ports released in 2014. The four versions were also released in North America and Europe in 2014. An additional port for the Nintendo Switch was released exclusively in Japan in 2017. A definitive edition of the game Warriors Orochi 3: Ultimate Definitive Edition was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows Steam in July 2022.
