Kutir-Nahhunte III is an Elamite king who ruled from 1155 or 1153 to 1150 BC. He succeeds his father Shutruk-Nahhunte I.

He gained importance in the last years of his father's reign, which he helped in his campaigns in Lower Mesopotamia. After the taking of Babylon, he is placed on the throne of the city, which he governs in the name of his father. When the latter dies, he must return to Elam, which provides an opportunity for a member of the Kassite dynasty, Enlil-nadin-ahi, to take back Babylon. There are three years left, the time for Kutir-Nahhunte to retake the city and finally complete the Kassite dynasty. After that, the Elamite king dies after only five years of reign, and his brother Shilhak-Inshushinak succeeds him.
