Capital League 3 is the fourth tier of men's senior football in Brisbane, Queensland (sixth overall within Australia) . It is administered and run by Football Brisbane. At the end of the regular season the top two teams are promoted to Capital League 2 and the bottom two teams are relegated to Capital League 4. There is a finals series at the end of the regular season.

From 2003 to 2012, the fourth tier of Brisbane football was known as Metro League Division One, which operated below the three tops tiers: the BPL, Premier Division One and Two. The league was composed of a mix of first grade teams from some clubs, and reserve teams from other clubs in the three premier divisions. The most successful club during this period was University of Queensland FC which won four Metro League One Grand Finals in the ten seasons between 2003 and 2012.[1]

Since being renamed Capital League 3 in 2013, the competition has continued in its 12 team format, with 22 rounds of matches played in the regular season to decide the premiers, followed by a finals series involving the top four teams to determine the champions.
