State Trunk Highway 83 (often called Highway 83, STH 83 or WIS 83) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north-south in southeast Wisconsin from Hartford to the Illinois border near Salem.

Most of the WIS 83 corridor consists of glacial formations and lakes. From the Washington County line south to the Illinois state line, WIS 83 runs within a few miles of at least 11 different small lakes. The rural nature of this routing results in WIS 83 being mostly two-lane undivided highway except for sections where it runs concurrent with other highways (WIS 50 and WIS 36), or where it approaches an Interstate (I-43 and I-94).

[edit] Termini

The northern terminus of WIS 83 is at the intersection of WI 175, north of Hartford. The southern terminus of WIS 83 is the Illinois state line, where it continues onward as Illinois Route 83.
