1980 Topps Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Series 3 was a trading card set released by Topps in 1980.

The set was based on Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, and featured stills from the film, promotional photos, and behind the scenes photos all within a yellow and green border. Most cards had "Star Quotes" on the back with dialogue from both films in the series. "Space Paintings" cards featured concept art by Ralph McQuarrie, and "Movie Facts" cards included production photos on the front and information on the back. A sub-set of sticker cards were included, the backs of which included a portion of a larger image that could be pieced together with other cards like a puzzle.

Card numbering in the set continued from the previous series.
