'''Ictineu 3''' is a [[submersible]] that was designed and built in [[Catalonia]], [[Spain]]. It is the third submersible to bear the name Ictineu, following the [[Ictineu I]] and [[Ictineu II]], both designed by [[Narcís Monturiol]] in the mid-19th century. The Ictineu 3 is a modern interpretation of Monturiol's vision, designed to explore the underwater world in a safe and sustainable manner.
