DRIV3R, also known as Driver 3, is a video-game created by Reflections Interactive and published by Atari. It was released for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony, the original Xbox from Microsoft, the Game Boy, and the PC (a GameCube version was also in production but got canceled). The title was later ported to mobile phones. It was initially released in June 2005 and classed as a racing title played from a first- and a third-person perspective. Driver 3 incorporates elements of a shooter, fighting and spy-adventure game.

The third iteration in the series builds upon the legacy of Driver 2, allowing the gamer to again play the undercover cop who infiltrates an international band of thieves and is determined to get them to face justice. The main character is Tanner, the cop known from the previous releases, but one mission allows players to also control Tobias Jones.

Some of the cars that could be used in the game, although not named as such, are the 1969 Ford Mustang, the 1975 Pontiac Firebird, the Citroen CX, the Aston Martin DB5, the U-Haul Semi Truck, the Ferrari Testarossa Convertible, the Renault Alpine, the Lamborghini Jalpa, the BMW 507, the Seat Ibiza, the General Motors New Look Bus, the Lamborghini Countach, the Ford GT40, the Shelby Cobra, a go-kart, the Volkswagen Microbus, a hot rod, a forklift, a pre-war Auto Union race car and a Bugatti Royale.

DRIV3R was widely criticized by the gaming press because of the poor implementation of the missions that did not involve driving around a car and because of the Artificial Intelligence, which relied very much on cheating.
