Artabanus III (flourished 1st century ad) was the king of Parthia (reigned c. ad 12–c. 38). At first king of Media Atropatene , Artabanus III took the Parthian throne in ad 9 or 10 from Vonones and was proclaimed king about two years later in Ctesiphon, the Parthian capital on the Tigris River.
The Romans released a hostage prince, Tiridates III of Parthia, to rule the region as an ally of Rome. Shortly before his death, Artabanus managed to force Tiridates from the throne using troops from Hyrcania. After Artabanus' death in 38 AD, a long civil war ensued between the rightful successor Vardanes I and his brother Gotarzes II.
