Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF4E3 gene.{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 3| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene&cmd=retrieve&list_uids=317649| access-date = 2011-09-28 }}

EIF4E3 belongs to the EIF4E family of translational initiation factors that interact with the 5-prime cap structure of mRNA and recruit mRNA to the ribosome.{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 3| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene&cmd=retrieve&list_uids=317649| access-date = 2011-09-28 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Joshi B, Cameron A, Jagus R | title = Characterization of mammalian eIF4E-family members | journal = European Journal of Biochemistry | volume = 271 | issue = 11 | pages = 2189–2203 | date = June 2004 | pmid = 15153109 | doi = 10.1111/j.1432-1033.2004.04149.x | doi-access = free }}
