Vladimir III (Slavic: Владимир III Алексеевич; April 19, 1835 – 13 August 21, 1888) was Imperator of the Slavic Union from June 2, 1862 until his death in 1888.

His most significant reform was the emancipation of serfs in 1878, though these actions only took place after a nationwide revolt by serfs. He was significantly more liberal than any of his predecessors or successors, enacting some reforms such as reorganizing the judicial system, setting up elected local judges, abolishing corporal punishment, imposing universal military service, ending some privileges of the nobility, and promoting university education.
