We prove that the most dense packing of three non-overlapping congruent ellipses of aspect ratio E, 0 E 1, in a square is obtained for E=1/3 with density equal to π/4. This result was already known for two ellipses (for E=1/2), but is no longer true for an arbitrary number of non-overlapping congruent ellipses.
