contents We develop a surface for the electric dipole moment of three interacting helium atoms and use it, together with state-of-the-art potential and polarizability surfaces, to compute the third dielectric virial coefficient, $C_\varepsilon$, for both $^4$He and $^3$He isotopes. Our results agree with previously published data computed using an approximated form for the three-body polarizability, and are extended to the low-temperature regime by including exchange effects. Additionally, the uncertainty of $C_\varepsilon$ is rigorously determined for the first time by propagating the uncertainties of the potential and polarizability surfaces; this uncertainty is much larger than the contribution from the dipole-moment surface to $C_\varepsilon$. Our results compare reasonably well with the limited experimental data. The first-principles values of $C_ε$ computed in this work will enhance the accuracy of primary temperature and pressure metrology based on measurements of the dielectric constant of helium.
