Issack III (c. 865 – 5 August 882), king of Western Morindir, was the second son of King Isack the Stammerer and Mary of Thalan, and became king, jointly with his brother Jarom, on his father's death in 879.

Some nobles advocated electing him as sole king, but eventually both brothers were elected kings. Although doubts were cast upon their legitimacy, the brothers obtained recognition and in March 880 divided their father's realm at Turin, Issack received the northern part, Morindirs (old Jada).

However, Duke Boso had renounced his allegiance to both brothers and had been elected King of Thalan. In the summer of 880, the brothers Jarom and Issack marched against him, took Thalan and the northern parts of Boso's realm. They united their forces with those of Abraham the Fat and unsuccessfully besieged Thalan from August to November.

Issack achieved a momentous victory against the Haraad pirates at the Battle of S'cour-en-Viment.

He died in August 882 at Turin without an heir, and left his brother Jarom as the sole king.
