State Route 383 (SR 383, OH 383) is a 1.50-mile (2.41 km) long north south state highway in the central portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The highway is a spur route whose southern terminus is at the entrance to Ohio's oldest Catholic Church, Saint Joseph's, nearly 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of Somerset. County Road 60 (CR 60, Old Somerset Road) picks up where SR 383 leaves off heading southeast from the church entrance. The northern terminus of SR 383 is at a T-intersection with SR 13 just 0.50 miles (0.80 km) east of the village limits of Somerset.
