We perform a nonperturbative determination of the O(a)-improvement coefficient c<

SW<
/inf>
for the Wilson quark action in three-flavor QCD with the plaquette gauge action. Numerical simulations are carried out in a range of β = 12.0-5.2 on a single lattice size of 8<
sup>
3<
/sup>
× 16 employing the Schrödinger functional setup of lattice QCD. As our main result, we obtain an interpolation formula for c<
inf>
SW<
/inf>
and the critical hopping parameter K<
inf>
c<
/inf>
as a function of the bare coupling. This enables us to remove the O(a) scaling violation from physical observables in future numerical simulation in the wide range of β. Our analysis with a perturbatively modified improvement condition for c<

SW<
/inf>
suggests that finite volume effects in c<

SW<

are not large on the 8<

3<
/sup>
× 16 lattice. We investigate N<

dependence of c<

SW<
/inf>
by additional simulations for N<

f<
/inf>
= 4, 2, and 0 at β = 9.6. As a preparatory step for this study, we also determine c<

SW<
/inf>
in two-flavor QCD at β = 5.2. At this β, several groups have carried out large-scale calculations of the hadron spectrum, while no systematic determination of c <

has been performed. ©2005 The American Physical Society.
