An "F3" felony is a shorthand expression for a class or category "3" (or "III") felony in jurisdictions that use numbered offense categories. What such an offense is punishable by and whether it is punishable by more or less than an "F2" felony depends completely on the laws of the jurisdiction in question.

Most if not all common law jurisdictions divide offenses into the basic categories of "felony" and "misdemeanor" and often a third category of minor "summary" or "petty" offenses.

However, many states also have categories, classes, or grades of offenses that use a system of sequential letter or number designations. These usually organize offenses by the severity of possible punishment. For example, New York State uses lettered classes of offenses: Misdemeanors are divided into class "A" and class "B" misdemeanors, which are punishable by a maximum of one year and three months incarceration respectively. Similarly New York has felonies graded from "class A" (punishable by life in prison or, theoretically, death) through "class E" (punishable by up to four years prison). Pennsylvania, by comparison, divides o its felonies into three categories (1,2,3) and its

Not every jurisdiction uses such classifications, and those that do may have offenses that do not fit into the system because they predate the system or because of legislative caprice or carelessness. Thus "unclassified misdemeanors" exist in new York. Moreover, there may be many other kinds of categories, like "violent felony" classifications that make the sentence for a "class D" "violent" felony different different from a simple "class D" felony.
