HMS M3 was an M-class submarine of the Royal Navy, built by Armstrong Whitworth at Newcastle upon Tyne. She was ordered on 28 July 1916 and laid down at Elswick that December as K20, launched on 19 October 1918 and commissioned as M3 on 16 March 1920. In May 1926 she and two other submarines supplied electricity to London docks during the General Strike, in Operation Blackcurrant. From 1927 she was converted at Chatham into an experimental minelayer, with her 12-inch gun removed to make room for rails holding 100 mines, but the conversion made her slow to dive and unreliable. She was sold on 6 February 1932 and scrapped at Newport in April 1932.
