John III of Navarre (1469-14 June 1516) was the jure uxoris King of Navarre from 1484 to 14 June 1516 as the husband of Catherine of Navarre. John was the son of Alain I of Albret and Frances of Chatillon-Limoges, and he was the brother of Charlotte of Albret.

In 1512 Ferdinand the Catholic occupied the Spanish portion of Navarre, and in 1515 it was formally annexed to the Castilian crown.
