Group 3 of the UEFA Euro 1968 qualifying tournament was one of the eight groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 1968 finals tournament. Group 3 consisted of four teams: Soviet Union, Greece, Austria, and Finland, where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The group winners were the Soviet Union, who finished 5 points above Greece.
