Abstract: Let $ \mathbb{F}$ be a field, $ q$ a non-zero element of $ \mathbb{F}$ and $ \mathcal{H}_{n}=\mathcal{H}_{\mathbb{F},q}(\mathfrak{S}_n)$ the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group $ \mathfrak{S}_n$. If $ B$ is a block of $ \mathcal{H}_{n}$ of $ e$-weight $ 3$ and the characteristic of $ \mathbb{F}$ is at least $ 5$, we prove that the decomposition numbers for $ B$ are all at most $ 1$. In particular, the decomposition numbers for a $ p$-block of $ \mathfrak{S}_n$ of defect $ 3$ are all at most $ 1$.
