Band III is the name of a radio frequency range within the very high frequency part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Band III ranges from 174 to 230 MHz, and it is primarily used for radio and television broadcasting. It is also called high-band VHF, in contrast to Bands I and II.

The band is subdivided into seven channels for television broadcasting, each occupying 6 MHz.

European Band III allocations vary from country to country, with channel widths of 7 or 8 MHz. The standard channel allocations for most of Europe are 7 MHz wide and are as follows:

The Irish (8 MHz) system is shown below.

The band has only come into use for radio broadcasting within the last decade,^[when?] and is used for Digital Audio Broadcasting. It is subdivided into a number of frequency blocks

In the UK and part of Ireland, Band III was originally used for monochrome 405-line television; however, this was discontinued by the mid 1980s. Some European countries (including Ireland) continue to use Band III for analogue 625-line colour television. Digital television in the DVB-T standard can be used in conjunction with VHF Band III and is used as such in some places. The use of sub-band 2 and sub-band 3 band for Digital Audio Broadcasting is now being widely adopted. Sub-band 1 is used for MPT-1327 trunked PMR radio, remote wireless microphones and PMSE links.
