The ''' 3rd Summit of the Americas'''  was a [[Summit (meeting)|summit]] held in [[Quebec City, Quebec]], [[Canada]], on April 20–22, 2001.<ref>[http://www.summit-americas.org/default.htm Summit Americas] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090625221903/http://www.summit-americas.org/default.htm |date=2009-06-25 }}: [http://www.summit-americas.org/iii_summit.html  III summit (3rd)]</ref>

This international meeting was a round of negotiations regarding a proposed [[Free Trade Area of the Americas]]. The talks are perhaps better known for the security preparations and demonstrations (known as the [[2001 Quebec uprising|Quebec City protest]]) that surrounded them than for the progress of the negotiations.
