Ophiucus III was the third planet in the Ophiucus planetary system. This system was located in the Alpha Quadrant. In the mid-23rd century, an Earth colony was founded on this world. Women were scarce enough on this inhabited world that intergalactic rogue Harcourt Mudd saw an opportunity in bringing them in from other worlds. This was one of two planets colonized by the Federation in this system; the other was Ophiucus VI. (TOS: "Mudd's Women"; TAS: "Mudd's Passion")

- Ophiucus System (36 Opiuchi System): This system was located in non-aligned space in the mid-22nd century. In 2378, this system was located in or near Federation space, in the Beta Quadrant. This system was a quadrinary star system. Ophiucus A was a K-class star with a magnitude of +3, which was ten times brighter than Sol. Ophiucus B, Ophiucus C, and Ophiucus D were K-class stars. This system was the namesake for the Ophiucus Sector (Sector 008). (pgs. 19, 44, "United Federation of Planets I")
