These are the proceedings of the Third Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP 2016), which was held on September 3, 2016 in London, UK. The workshop was co-located with the 26th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming (ILP 2016). Five papers were submitted to the workshop. Each submission was reviewed by three members of the program committee. All submitted papers were of sufciently high quality to be accepted to the workshop. In addition, the workshop also had invited talks by Fabrizio Riguzzi (University of Ferrara, Italy) and Matthias Nickles (National University of Ireland, Galway). This workshop is the third edition of the PLP series. The rst two editions were part of the ICLP conference: the rst one in 2014 in Vienna, Austria, and the second one in Cork, Ireland. More information about the current edition, the previous edition, and future editions can be found at the following website: http://stoics.org.uk/plp/ We would like to thank all authors who submitted papers, and the (senior) program committee members for their e orts. We are especially grateful to Nicos Angelopoulos for his continued support for the workshop series, and his help with the organisation of the 2016 edition. In addition, we are grateful to the ILP chairs, in particular, Alessandra Russo, for arranging the venue of the workshop at Imperial College.
