The 3rd Lahore Divisional Area was an infantry division of the British Indian Army that formed part of the Indian Army during the First World War.

It was formed in September 1914 to replace the original 3rd (Lahore) Division that had been mobilized in August 1914 for service on the Western Front.

It was abolished in May 1917 when its remaining responsibilities were passed on to the 16th Indian Division.

At the outbreak of the First World War, the 3rd (Lahore) Division was mobilized in August 1914 and sailed from Bombay and Karachi between 24 and 29 September for the Western Front.

[3] It was intended to form a reserve division for the North West Frontier, but the urgent need to find troops for Mesopotamia meant that the 16th Indian Division was not formed until December 1916.
