Armitage III (アミテージ・ザ・サード, Amitēji Za Sādo) is a 1995 cyberpunk original video animation series. It centers on Naomi Armitage, a highly advanced "Type-III" android. In 1996, the series was edited into a film called Armitage: Poly-Matrix (アミテージ POLY-MATRIX（ポリマトリックス）, Amitēji Pori Matorikkusu).

The series was followed up in 2002 with a sequel, Armitage: Dual-Matrix (アミテージ DUAL-MATRIX（デューアルマトリックス）, Amitēji Dyūaru Matorikkusu) set some years after the original story.
