Persuasive Percussion Volume 3 is a studio album by The Command All Stars. It was produced by Enoch Light and released in 1960 on Light's Command Records label (catalog no. RS 817-SD). The featured musicians included Tony Mottola (guitar), Doc Severinsen (trumpet), Bobby Byrne (trombone), Bobby Haggart, Phil Bodner (piccolo), and Stan Webb (saxophone). The album cover artwork is by abstract painter Josef Albers.

Persuasive Percussion Volume 3 debuted on the Billboard magazine pop album chart on May 1, 1961, peaked at the No. 3 spot, and remained on the chart for 51 weeks.

AllMusic gave the album a rating of two-and-a-half stars. Reviewer Dave Nathan wrote: "This is one in a series of LP's that Command records issued to show off its considerable recording skills rather than for any lasting musical value."
