Dorset & Wilts 3 North is an English Rugby Union league, forming part of the South West Division, for clubs based in the north of the Dorset and Wiltshire area. Promoted teams tend to move up to Dorset & Wilts 2 North. Previously relegated teams dropped to Dorset & Wilts 4 but since the cancellation of this division at the end of the 2015-16 season there has been no relegation.
In previous years, Dorset & Wilts 3 had been one division with teams from Berkshire included. In 2005, three regional divisions were created for teams in Dorset and Wiltshire, namely Dorset & Wilts 3 North, Dorset & Wilts 3 South and Dorset & Wilts 3 West. The West division was disbanded at the end of the 2009-09 season, leaving just the two divisions.
The division consists of eleven teams, all of which are based in Wiltshire.
Eight of the eleven teams participated in last season's competition. The 2014-15 champions, Combe Down II, were promoted to Dorset & Wilts 2 North, while Chippenham III and Supermarine II were relegated from there. No teams were relegated to Dorset & Wilts 4.
