Density wave theory is used to determine the perturbed gravitational potential of three-dimensional spiral galaxies. The integral form of the gravitational potential for the ground state is derived using the Hankel transformation. A formula for the surface density is obtained by taking Toomre's galaxy rotation model and its corresponding form for projecting surface density modified for the galactic thickness. An analytic solution for the gravitational potential of the ground state for three-dimensional spiral galaxies is deduced and applied to calculate the potential at r = 10 kpc for the Galaxy. The result agrees well with observational data.
