Convoy PQ 3 was the fourth of the Arctic Convoys of the Second World War by which the Western Allies supplied material aid to the Soviet Union in its fight with Nazi Germany.
The convoy consisted of 8 ships (6 British and 2 Panamanian flagged) escorted by the cruiser HMS Kenya, the destroyer HMS Intrepid, minesweepers and armed trawlers.
One merchant ship, MV Briarwood, returned to Iceland with damage from ice; the others arrived safely.
