Binding energies of high-L Rydberg levels of Th{sup 3+} were measured using the resonant excitation Stark ionization spectroscopy technique. Analysis of the data with the long-range polarization model leads to determination of dipole and quadrupole polarizabilities of the free Th{sup 4+} ion, {alpha}{sub d} = 7.61(6) a.u., {alpha}{sub Q} = 47(11) a.u.
