German submarine U-3010 was a Type XXI U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine.

Her keel was laid down on 13 July 1944 by DeSchiMAG AG Weser of Bremen. She was commissioned on 11 November 1944 with Oberleutnant Eberhard Ebert in command. Ebert handed over to Fregattenkapitän Erich Topp (Knight’s Cross) on 23 March 1945, who commanded the boat until 26 April 1945.U-3010 conducted no war patrols. On 3 May 1945, she was scuttled at Kiel, to prevent her from falling into Allied hands. The wreck was subsequently broken up.

Like all Type XXI U-boats, U-3010 had a displacement of 1,621 tonnes (1,595 long tons) when at the surface and 1,819 tonnes (1,790 long tons) while submerged. She had a total length of 76.70 m (251 ft 8 in), a beam length of 8 m (26 ft 3 in), and a draught length of 6.32 m (20 ft 9 in). The submarine was powered by two MAN SE supercharged six-cylinder M6V40/46KBB diesel engines each providing 4,000 metric horsepower (2,900 kilowatts; 3,900 shaft horsepower), two Siemens-Schuckert GU365/30 double-acting electric motors each providing 5,000 PS (3,700 kW; 4,900 shp), and two Siemens-Schuckert silent running GV232/28 electric motors each providing 226 PS (166 kW; 223 shp).
