The Third Republic of Venezuela is the name used by historians to refer to the reestablishment of the Republic of Venezuela by Simon Bolivar in the year 1817, during the Venezuelan War of Independence. The beginning of the Third Republic of Venezuela is attributed to the period after the Guyana Campaign, during which the republicans restored democratic institutions in Angostura. The Republic ended after the Congress of Angostura decreed the union of Venezuela with New Granada, to form a new Republic, in the year 1819.

Venezuela would become once again an independent republic after its separation from Gran Colombia in the year 1830, with José Antonio Páez as President.
