I was let go from a job in late December after being there for only three weeks. They didn't even give me a reason, just told me it was my last day and that was it. I’ve been applying for new jobs ever since. If I just leave this three-week job off my resume and don't bring up the firing, will it still show up on a standard background check?

There's no way of knowing for sure, but it's definitely a possibility. Up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide which option is least risky: having interviewer know you were fired after three weeks or possibly being caught lying by omission.

Background checks usually aren’t for every job you’ve ever held. It’s verification for what you put on your resume, identity, and a security check is most common. Now, that’s not to say it’s impossible to show up. I’d have something ready to say. You were briefly employed, but moved on to find a better fit. Unless you have a long list of 2-3 week jobs, you’ll probably be fine.
