The 3rd County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters) was a Yeomanry regiment of the British Army.
It was raised in 1901 from Second Boer War veterans of the Imperial Yeomanry.
Between the two world wars, it was converted to an Armoured Car Company before being expanded back to regimental size and forming a duplicate regiment, the 4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters) on 27 September 1939.
Due to losses, and a shortage of replacement personnel and equipment, the regiments were amalgamated in August 1944 as 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters).
Post-war, 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters) reformed as a Territorial Army armoured regiment in 1947.
In 1961 the regiment merged with the Kent Yeomanry to form the Kent and Sharpshooters Yeomanry.
