Three Friends is the third studio album by British progressive rock band Gentle Giant, released in 1972.

It is the only album by Gentle Giant to feature drummer Malcolm Mortimore following the departure of Martin Smith.

The two former albums were produced by Tony Visconti, who had previously worked with David Bowie and T.Rex.

"[4] For the U.S. and Canadian edition, on Columbia Records, the album cover was changed to a modified version of the design from the self-titled UK debut Gentle Giant.

The album title and band name were added over the forehead of the giant image and the colour tinting of the cover was changed.
