The full-genome sequence of bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV-3) USA2016/LA CC16-564, isolated from a white-tailed deer in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, is reported here. Nine genomic segments of this virus have 99% identity with a 2013 BTV-3 isolate from Florida, while segment 10 has 97% identity with 2003 BTV-5 and 2006 BTV-2 isolates from Florida.
