After Burner III is a video game released for the FM-Towns home computer in Japan and later ported to the Sega CD in Japan, Europe and North America. It is the third game in the After Burner series, and a port of Strike Fighter, a game released for Japanese arcades, itself a sequel to G-LOC: Air Battle.

The game again has the player flying the F-14 Tomcat, with the same weapons as before. Headquarters has informed the player character that "the enemy" (which the game's introduction does not identify) is reported to be building airfields and bases throughout the desert. His mission is to take out those bases.

The second type of view is "back", which is similar to the After Burner II arcade game.
