We compute the expansion of the 3-d Lattice QCD free energy to four loop order by means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory. The first and second order are already known and are correctly reproduced. The third and fourth order coefficients are new results. The known logarithmic divergence in the fourth order is correctly identified. We comment on the relevance of our computation in the context of dimensionally reduced finite temperature QCD.
