Charles III (born 1361—died Sept. 8, 1425, Olite, Navarre) was the king of Navarre (1387–1425), eldest son of Charles II the Bad. Unlike his father, he pursued a consistent policy of peace both with Castile (which in gratitude restored certain districts to Navarre) and with France. By the treaty of Paris (1404) Charles not only renounced the Navarrese claims to Champagne but also ceded Cherbourg (which he had recovered from the English in 1393) and the countship of Évreux to Charles VI of France in exchange for Nemours, which was raised from a countship to a peerage-duchy for him.

By his marriage (1375) with Leonor of Trastámara, Charles had nine children, all of whom died early except his daughter and successor Blanche of Navarre.
