Arkansas Highway 83 (AR 83, Ark. 83 and Hwy. 83) is the designation for a state highway in the U.S. state of Arkansas. The route is mainly located in Southeast Arkansas, and is split into two sections.

AR 83 also has a spur route (designated as Highway 83S or AR 83S), which serves the University of Arkansas at Monticello's northern entrance, as well as Drew Memorial Hospital.[1][2]
