Boček III of Poděbrady (also: Boček III of Kunštát and Poděbrady, German: Boček III. von Podiebrad, Czech: Boček III. z Poděbrad or error: {{lang}}: unrecognized language code: cz (help) or error: {{lang}}: unrecognized language code: cz (help); died: 1429) was a Bohemian-Moravian nobleman and supporter of the Hussites.

Boček III was a member of the noble Poděbrady family. His parents were Boček II of Poděbrady and Anna Elisabeth of Leipa (Czech: Anna Eliška z Lipé), a daughter of Henry of Leipa (Czech: Jindřich z Lipé). In some sources he is referred to as Boček the Younger, to distinguish him from his father, who is then called Boček the Elder.

Boček III is first mentioned in a document from 1395. He and his father are named together several times, until his father's death in 1417. Boček then inherited the Moravian estates jointly with his younger brother Victor. Victor also inherited the Bohemian dominions Litice Castle and Náchod and the Lordship of Hummel, while the youngest brother Hynek Boček received the family seat at Poděbrady. John, the oldest brother, died during his father's lifetime, between 1407 and 1409. Victor and Boček III fought several legal battles about their Moravian possessions against their distant relatives Gerald Puška of Kunštát and Smil of Kunštát at Bludov. In 1417, Boček III successfully besieged Pyšolec Castle; a year later he acquired the Lordship of Vranová Lhota.
