Quest for Glory III: Wages of War is a hybrid adventure/role-playing video game released in 1992 for MS-DOS. It is the third entry in the Quest for Glory video game series and the sequel to Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire.

Quest for Glory II hinted that Ad Avis would return in this installment of the video game series. However, the Coles did not think they could reach a new audience with a game that was significantly darker in tone than previous games in the series. Therefore, Quest for Glory III: Wages of War was created instead, with the game just hinting at the whereabouts of Ad Avis and saving that particular plotline for Shadows of Darkness, which was changed to the fourth in the series.

The game was re-released on Steam with support for Windows.
