The Travels of Benjamin III (מסעות בנימין השלישי, Masa'os Binyamin Ha-Shelishi) is a satirical work from the writer Mendele Mocher Sforim. The work was published first in the year 1878 in Yiddish, and, from then, until today, it has been considered by some^[who?] to be the greatest satire on exilic Jewish life. The work is modeled after the Miguel de Cervantes novel Don Quixote.^[1]

The titular character is considered the third great Jewish Benjamin to be a traveler: the first being Benjamin of Tudela, and the second being J. J. Benjamin.^[1]
