Third wave ska is a musical genre derived from the fusion of Jamaican ska with various American and British styles of music, such as 2 Tone, rock music, punk rock, hardcore and jazz.

Originating in the United States in the late 1980s and gaining popularity in the early 1990s, the music often features horns and a heavily-accented offbeat, a characteristic that was also prevalent in the second wave of ska. Ska punk and ska-core are sub-genres that comprise the majority of third-wave ska music, although several third wave ska bands play in a traditional 1960s style. Popular third-wave ska artists have included The Toasters, Mad Caddies, Sublime and Less Than Jake.
