Dynasty Warriors 4: Hyper is a singleplayer and multiplayer third-person hack and slash game in the Dynasty Warriors and Warriors series.

It was first released as Shin Sangokumusou 3 (Japanese: 真・三國無双3) on PlayStation 2 in Japan on February 27, 2003, in North America on March 25, 2003 and PAL version on June 27, 2003. The game was later ported to Xbox on September 4, 2003 in Japan, September 30, 2003 in North America and November 14, 2003 for PAL version. PC port was released on March 30, 2005 under the name of Dynasty Warriors 3: Hyper in North America and on April 1, 2005 as Shin Sangokumusou 3 Hyper (Japanese: 真・三國無双3 ハイパー, Traditional Chinese: 真‧三國無雙3 Hyper) in Asia.

On March 30, 2018, the online authentication server for the Japanese version was shut down, rendering that version of the game unplayable. For non-Japanese version, the game is non-playable due to SafeDisc DRM no longer works unless patching which might cause the system to be exposed to known security vulnerabilities.
