3 is the third studio album by American blues rock band Buffalo Killers. It was released on August 2, 2011, on Alive Naturalsound Records. Of the first thousand vinyl copies, half were released on blue vinyl and the other half on purple.

Critical reception In a review for AllMusic, critic reviewer Mark Deming wrote: "While there isn't much here that suggests a shameless rip-off of any artist in particular, 3 conjures up a sense of time and place with ease, and the loose, sun-burnt vibe of this music, fused with Andy's fluid but forceful guitar work, Zach's simple but effective basslines, and Joey Sebaali's colorful percussion work drifts between country-rock and hard rock in a way that suggests the strengths of both without hitching itself to either."
