Ding! Dong! Songs for Christmas - Vol. III is an album of Christmas related songs and carols recorded by independent musician Sufjan Stevens in 2003. It seems that the album was never officially released but rather given away to friends and family during Christmastime. It was preceded by Noel! Songs for Christmas - Vol. I in 2001 and Hark! Songs for Christmas - Vol. II in 2002.

This CD is available as part of the box set Songs for Christmas, released by Asthmatic Kitty Records in 2006.
