Strange Cargo III is an album by electronic instrumentalist William Orbit. It is the third in a series of four similarly titled albums: Strange Cargo, Strange Cargo II and Strange Cargo Hinterland. The album was performed, produced and mixed by William Orbit at Guerilla Studios, London. Mark Rutherford and Sugar J co-performed "Deus Ex Machina" with William Orbit, with Rutherford also co-writing the song. Rico Conning contributed flexible bleeps and roadhouse piano on "Time to get Wize", spiky piano and strings on "The Story of Light" and additional programming on "A Touch of the Night". The album was featured in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Following Orbit's death, in July 2026, the album debuted the next month at number 73 on the United Kingdom's UK Albums Downloads Chart.
