The 3rd Senate district of Wisconsin is one of 33 districts in the Wisconsin Senate.{{Cite web|title=Senate District 3 |url=https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/districts/senate/3 |website= Wisconsin Legislature |accessdate= March 6, 2021 }} Located in southeast Wisconsin, the district is entirely contained within central Milwaukee County. It comprises much of the south side of the city of Milwaukee, as well as the village of West Milwaukee and eastern parts of the cities of West Allis and Greenfield. The district contains landmarks such as American Family Field (home of the Milwaukee Brewers), Walker's Point Historic District, the Mitchell Park Domes, and the historic Forest Home Cemetery.{{cite web|url= https://maps.legis.wisconsin.gov/?sen=3&single=y |title= Wisconsin Legislative Districts - Senate District 3 Boundaries |website= Wisconsin Legislature |access-date= February 8, 2021 }} The district also contains the largest concentration of Hispanic residents in Wisconsin, at 45% of the district population.
