Concerti Grossi, Op. 3 is a set of twelve concerti grossi by George Frideric Handel, published in 1734. Rooted in the Italian concerto grosso tradition, these works contrast concertino and ripieno forces and are characterised by ritornello-driven movements, imitative counterpoint and dance-derived episodes, marking Handel's adaptation of the genre during his mature London period and reflecting his contribution to early-18th-century orchestral practice.
