"3 Natsu Natsu Mini Berryz" (➂夏夏ミニベリーズ?) is the second mini-album, fourth non-single release, and fifteenth audio release overall by pre-teen Japanese Pop band Berryz Koubou. It is their second seasonal-themed release (Their previous EP, Special! Best Mini ~2.5 Maime no Kare~, featured a winter theme in its artwork but no winter-related songs) and features their previous single "Jiriri Kiteru" along with five tracks exclusive to the EP.

The EP is equally notable to Berryz fans for featuring separate members, or clusters of members, covering summer-related Hello! Project songs by Aya Matsuura, Coconuts Musume, and 3nin Matsuri.
