Three is the third studio album by British girl group Sugababes. It was released by Island Records on 27 October 2003 in the United Kingdom. Recorded between December 2002 and March 2003, band members Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan, and Heidi Range reteamed with Jony Rockstar and Xenomania to work on material for the album, with Jonny Dollar, Craig "Craigie" Dodds and Guy Sigsworth also becoming instrumental in producing the album. The trio also traveled to the United States to work with Linda Perry and Diane Warren.

Three received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its fresh urban and hip hop influences, confident production, and musical maturity, though some noted a lack of standout originality. The album debuted and peaked at number three on the UK Albums Chart and was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) just two months after its release. Elsewhere, Three also reached the top ten in Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.

The album generated four singles that charted in various parts of the world. Lead single "Hole in the Head" became the group's third UK number one single and marked the Sugababes' first release to top the US Dance Club Play chart. Follow-up "Too Lost in You" became a top ten success in the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, while "In the Middle" and "Caught in a Moment" both peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart. In further promotion of the album, Sugababes embarked on the Three Tour from March to April 2004.
