Mansa Mahmud III, also known as Mamadou II, was mansa ("king of kings") of the Mali Empire during the 16th century, with the only firm date being that he was on the throne in 1534. He was the grandson of one of his predecessors, Mahmud II, but nothing is known of the Mansas who may have ruled in between them.
