Jaromir III (11 October 1516 - ) was King of Bohemia from 1563, succeeding his father Henry X/IV. Jaromir failed to achieve the imperial throne of the Holy Roman Empire during the Imperial Election of 1563, with the imperial throne instead falling to Charles V, Duke of Livonia and Jaromir's kinsman. This contentious election would lead to a decade of feuding between the members of the Přemyslid Dynasty, commonly known as the Brothers' Quarrel.

The Kingdom of Bohemia had officially been converted to the Jungist faith by Jaromir's father in the aftermath of the War of the Three Henrys, but Jaromir would be the first monarch to test this change, and he would spend much of his early reign contending against Catholic pretenders and uprisings. He joined new king Henry III of France in the Italian War of 1564–1572. This helped to curb the power of Hungary in the region but was largely inconclusive. Jaromir would serve as Bohemia's monarch in the lead up to the Forty Years' War, in which the country played a major role.
