Idaho State Highway 3 (SH-3) is a state highway in northern Idaho, connecting U.S. Route 12 near Spalding, east of Lewiston, with Interstate 90 near Rose Lake, east of Coeur d'Alene. It is 117.68 miles (189.4 km) in length and runs north–south, east of and generally parallel to Idaho's primary north–south highway, U.S. Route 95.
SH-3's southern terminus is near Arrow Gulch Creek Bridge to the east of Spalding on US 12 on the Nez Perce Indian Reservation in Nez Perce County. It then heads generally northeast into eastern Latah County, where it leaves the reservation, and continues through Juliaetta and Kendrick, where it intersects SH-99. It then continues generally north to Deary, where it overlaps SH-8. The overlapping highways continue east and northeast to Bovill, where they diverge.
SH-3 then continues generally north through Shoshone County, crossing the Saint Maries River, into Benewah County. It then turns generally northwest to Santa, where it intersects SH-6.
