Conrado M. Estrella III (born September 12, 1960) is a Filipino politician. He is one of the deputy speakers of the 18th Congress under the leadership of Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano and Lord Allan Velasco.

Estrella was elected to the House of Representatives of the Philippines in 1987 and 1995, representing the Pangasinan's 6th District. In the 8th Congress, he was one of the youngest elected representative at age 26. He was elected back to the same seat from 2001 to 2010. In 2013, he became the party-list representative of Abono succeeding his brother Robert Raymond Estrella.

He was among the 23 representatives linked to the pork barrel scam by a Philippine Daily Inquirer exposé in 2013.[1] The National Bureau of Investigation subsequently named Conrado Estrella III and Robert Raymond Estrella in its 2015 report to the Ombudsman among those allegedly involved in malversation, direct bribery, and other graft and corrupt practices.[2]
