Boudewijn III (ca. 940 - 1 november 962) was medegraaf van Vlaanderen van 958 tot aan zijn dood.

Boudewijn III was de enige zoon van graaf Arnulf I en van Aleidis (of Adela) van Vermandois.

Zijn vader stelde hem in 958 aan tot medegraaf, en droeg het bestuur van het zuidelijke deel van het graafschap aan hem over.

Hij overleed aan de pokken tijdens een veldtocht (onder aanvoering van Lotharius van Frankrijk) tegen Normandië.

n 961 huwde hij met Mathildis van Saksen (942 - 25 mei 1008), dochter van Herman Billung, hertog van Saksen, en van Hildegarde van Westerburg. Ze kregen een zoon: Arnulf II.

Na Boudewijns dood huwde Mathildis met graaf Godfried van Verdun.
