Abstract	An rms nuclear charge radius rc=1.9642(11) fm for 3He is derived from measurements of the 2 3S1-2 3P0 isotope shift combined with the best available data on the fine structure of 4He, the hyperfine structure of 3He, and an assumed rc=1.673(1) fm for 4He. The result removes a small discrepancy between some older spectroscopic determinations of rc for 3He from this transition and a more recent measurement.
