  We present catalog of 26 121 visually inspected eclipsing binary stars
identified in the Large Magellanic Cloud during the third phase of the Optical
Gravitational Lensing Experiment. The sample is limited to the out-of-eclipse
brightness I < 20 mag. The catalog consists mostly of detached eclipsing
binaries - ellipsoidal variables were not included. For stars brighter than I =
18 mag the detection rate of eclipsing binaries is 0.5% and for all stars it
falls to 0.2%. The absolute completeness of the whole catalog is about 15%
assuming the occurence rate of EBs toward the LMC equal to 1.5%. Among
thousands of regular eclipsing systems we distinguished a subclass of eclipsing
binaries - transient eclipsing binaries (TEB) - presenting cycles of appearance
and disappearance of eclipses due to the precession of their orbits.
