Wilhelm III of Senvar (full name: Wilhelm III Karl Franz Albert von Schuessler; 29 March 1798 – 30 November 1855) was the last monarch of the Kingdom of Senvar, reigning as King from 1832 until his abdication and the cessation of the kingdom in 1839, ending the 335-year long reign of the House of Schuessler.

Wilhelm III was the son of Crown Prince Wilhelm of Senvar and Princess Susanne of Senvar. His father was the son of King Wilhelm I. Upon the death of his grandfather, his father became King and Wilhelm assume the title of Crown Prince of Senvar. Upon the death of his father in 1832, he became the King of Senvar. During his reign, he attempted to diminish the power of the Parliament by forcing Artur Hölder out of office in 1835 and holding a snap election which led to victory for the pro-monarchy Conservative–Monarchist Coalition Party.

His reign as King was cut short, when in 1839, two Creeperian diplomats in Port Senvar were assassinated and blame was placed on Wilhelm III for allowing the assassination. The incident caused outrage within the Creeperian government which demanded compensation, however, Wilhelm III refused. After the issuance of an ultimatum demanding the peaceful incorporation of Senvar into Creeperopolis on the grounds of failing to compensate the deaths of the diplomats and also citing historical territorial claims. Facing an immanent invasion, Wilhelm III declared the annexation of the nation to Creeperopolis and abdicated the throne on 5 March 1839 as the Creeperian Army had arrived outside of Port Senvar. Upon his abdication, Senvar was annexed into Creeperopolis, however, many Senvarian military officers and politicians opposed the annexation and initiated the First Senvarian Insurgency. His brother declared himself as King Frederick I and led the insurgency against the Creeperans until his death in 1851.

After his abdication, Wilhelm III remained in Port Senvar under protection from the Creeperian Imperial Guard, as many Senvarian civilians sought to kill him for abandoning the nation. In 1850, he was offered the position of Mayor of Puerto Senvar by Field Marshal Adolfo Salinas Huerta, the Captain General of Senvar, however, Wilhelm III refused the position. He died on 30 November 1855 and was buried on 5 December 1855 in the Royal Palace of Puerto Senvar where he lived out the rest of his life. His tomb remains a popular gathering place for some Senvarian nationalists who view his abdication as being forced instead of being willingly.
