Arkansas's 3rd congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Arkansas. The district is in the northwest part of the state. The cities of Bentonville, Fayetteville, Springdale and Fort Smith are in the district. The district was made on March 4, 1863 but left the same day to join the Confederate States of America. The people who live in the district elect a person to represent the district in the United States House of Representatives. The district was represented by a Republican from 1868 to 1874. A Democrat would represent the district from 1874 to 1967 and not Democrat has been the representative since then. The district has been represented by Steve Womack since 2010.
