Diana Ross & the Supremes: Greatest Hits Vol. 3 is a 1969 compilation album by Diana Ross & the Supremes, released on the Motown label.[2] It features all of the hits released by the group between 1967 and 1969 save for the Supremes/Temptations duet singles. After Florence Ballard's mid-1967 departure from the group, Supremes singles were recorded by Diana Ross with session singers The Andantes on backgrounds instead of new Supreme Cindy Birdsong and founding member Mary Wilson, including "Love Child" and "Someday We'll Be Together" (Birdsong's voice in fact does not appear on this album).

Two of the singles included here, "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone" and "The Happening", were also included on Diana Ross & the Supremes: Greatest Hits. That album was a double disc release, and constituted both volumes one and two of the Supremes' greatest-hits series (hence the title of this release).

Diana Ross & the Supremes: Greatest Hits Vol. 3 was released on compact disc.
