      As the title told us, in this paper the author gives a complete classification of fusion categories of rank 3 that admit a pivotal structure over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The result can be stated as follows:NEWLINENEWLINE Theorem. Let \(\mathcal{C}\) be such a fusion category, then it is tensor equivalent to one of following categories: 1) pointed categories with underlying \(\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z}\) which are parametrized by \(H^3(\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z}, \mathbb{C}^{\times})\); 2) one of three categories associated with quantum \(\mathfrak{so}_3\) at 7th root of unity; 3) one of two Ising categories; 4) category of Rep\(S_3\) or its twisted versions; 5) category associated with subfactor of type \(E_6\) or its Galois conjugate.NEWLINENEWLINE The proof involves many nontrivial technical and theoretical tools. At last, we should point out that assumption ``pivotal'' is not a strong requirement. In fact, there is a well-known conjecture, given by Etingof-Nikshych-Ostrik, stated that any fusion category should be pivotal automatically.
