Let $R$ be a non-commutative ring with unity. The commuting graph of $R$ denotedby $\Gamma(R)$, is a graph with vertex set $R\Z(R)$ and two vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent iff $ab=ba$.In this paper, we consider the commuting graph of non-commutative rings of order pq and $p^2q$with Z(R) = 0 and non-commutative rings with unity of order $p^3q$. It is proved that $C_R(a)$is a commutative ring for every $0\neq a \in R\Z(R)$. Also it is shown that if $a,b\in R\Z(R)$and $ab\neq ba$, then $C_R(a)\cap C_R(b)= Z(R)$. We show that the commuting graph $\Gamma(R)$ is thedisjoint union of $k$ copies of the complete graph and so is not a connected graph.
