Collection III (コレクション・スリー, Korekushon Surī) is the seventh compilation album by Japanese entertainer Miho Nakayama. Released through King Records on Nakayama's birthday of March 1, 1995, the album compiles her singles from 1991 to 1994, including her Japanese-language cover of Mariah Carey's "Hero". The popularity of the million-selling songs "Sekaijū no Dare Yori Kitto" and "Tada Nakitaku Naru no" helped boost the album's sales.[1][2][3]

The album peaked at No. 3 on Oricon's albums chart. It sold over 590,000 copies and was certified Platinum by the RIAJ, becoming Nakayama's biggest-selling album in her career.[4][5]
