Third Age 3000 (abbreviated to T.A. 3000) is the 3000th year of the Sun of the Third Age of Middle-earth. Third Age 3000 was also known as S.R. 1400 in Shire-reckoning.
Notable events in this year include:

- Around this time Saruman dares to use the palantír of Orthanc, but becomes ensnared by Sauron, who has the Ithil-stone. He becomes a traitor to the White Council. His spies report that the Shire is being closely guarded by the Rangers.[1]
- One day, Bilbo Baggins sees the Sackville-Bagginses approaching along the road. Using his Ring he evades an unwanted meeting with them. Unbeknownst to him, the whole scene is witnessed by a young Meriadoc Brandybuck.[3][note 1]
