The 3rd Arabian Gulf Cup () was the third edition of the Arabian Gulf Cup. The tournament was held in Kuwait City, Kuwait, and was won by two-time defending champions and hosts Kuwait. The tournament took place between 15 and 29 March 1974. All matches were played at the Al Kuwait Sports Club Stadium.

Oman took part in the competition for the first time. Kuwait defeated Saudi Arabia 4–0 in the final to win their third title in a row. The victory meant that Kuwait had earned the privilege of keeping the trophy permanently.

The number of teams in this edition increased from five to six and the format of the competition changed. Instead of one round-robin group, the six nations were split into two groups of three. The top two from each group qualified for the semi-finals with each group winner facing the other group's runner-up. The winners of the semi-finals faced each other in the final while the defeated semi-finalists played the third-place play-off.
