Renegade III: The Final Chapter is a scrolling beat'em up video game released on the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MSX, and ZX Spectrum in 1989 by Ocean Software under their Imagine label. The game is a sequel to Target: Renegade which itself is a sequel to the arcade game Renegade. Unlike the first two games, Renegade III follows the character known only as "Renegade" as he travels through time to rescue his captured girlfriend. It also dropped the two-player mode found in the previous title.

An Amiga version was developed but never released. It was leaked years later.
