The Big House 3 was a Super Smash Bros. Melee and Project M national tournament held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on October 12-13th, 2013, hosted by Juggleguy and Strong Bad. It is the third event in the Big House series of tournament events, following The Big House 2.

This tournament was the first time in years where American Sheik and Marth player Mew2King won a national tournament with at least two of the other "gods" of Melee in attendance. Over the past several months, he had repeatedly lost to Dr. PeePee and Hungrybox by significant margins; however, in this tournament, he defeated Dr. PeePee 3-2, with a 3-stock on Fountain of Dreams in the last game, then went on to win both winners' and grand finals against Hungrybox in a very dominating fashion. This is commonly referred to as the beginning of the "Return of the King".
