We present and make publicly available the third data release (DR3) of the Keck Observatory Database of Ionized Absorption toward Quasars (KODIAQ) survey. KODIAQ DR3 consists of a fully-reduced sample of 727 quasars at 0.1 < z < 6.4 observed with ESI at moderate resolution (4000 < R < 10000). DR3 contains 872 spectra available in flux calibrated form, representing a sum total exposure time of approximately 2.8 megaseconds. These co-added spectra arise from a total of 2753 individual exposures of quasars taken from the Keck Observatory Archive (KOA) in raw form and uniformly processed using a data reduction package made available through the XIDL distribution. DR3 is publicly available to the community, housed as a higher level science product at the KOA and in the igmspec database.
