3 Women is a 1977 American film directed by Robert Altman, starring Shelley Duvall, Sissy Spacek, and Janice Rule. The story came directly from a dream Altman had, which he did not fully understand, but nonetheless adapted into a treatment, intending to film without a script. 20th Century Fox financed the project based on Altman's reputation, but a script was completed before filming, although, as with most Altman films, the script is just a beginning point for what he shoots during production.

For a significant number of years, the film was unavailable on home video, however it managed to gain somewhat of a cult reputation after frequent broadcasting on television in the 1980s and 1990s. The film was given a long-awaited DVD release in 2004 by the Criterion Collection, featuring a feature-length commentary by Altman himself. In 2011, the film was given the Blu ray treatment, also released by Criterion.
