Palawan's 3rd congressional district is one of the three congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Palawan. It has been represented in the House of Representatives since 2013. The district is composed of the city of Puerto Princesa and adjacent municipality of Aborlan. It was created after the 2012 reapportionment that redrew the boundaries of the 2nd district and allocated a new district for Palawan's capital and only city. The district is represented in the 20th Congress by Gil Acosta Jr. of the Lakas–CMD (Lakas) and Partidong Pagbabago ng Palawan (PPPL).
