Interstate 43 (abbreviated I-43) is an intrastate interstate highway located entirely within the state of Wisconsin, United States. Its southern terminus is at an intersection with Interstate 39 and Interstate 90 in Beloit, Wisconsin; its northern terminus is in Green Bay, Wisconsin at an intersection with U.S. Highway 41.

I-43 north of Milwaukee was originally planned as a northern section of Interstate 57; it would not have run concurrently with Interstate 94 in between.^{[citation needed]}
