State Road 273 (SR 273) is a north-south highway in the panhandle in the U.S. state of Florida that extends from State Road 77 (SR 77) in Chipley to U.S. Route 231 (US 231) in Campbellton. SR 273 runs through both Washington and Jackson counties, and most, if not all of the road is a two-lane undivided highway. Between its termini, SR 273 intersects with no state roads other than former ones. A former section of the road south of Chipley is now County Road 273.
State Road 273 begins at a blinker-light intersection with State Road 77 in Chipley, Florida as Glenwood Avenue, which is a west-to-east street that continues west as a city local city street until it reaches North First Street. The road remains at this trajectory for the first four blocks, and does not start to turn north until after the intersection with Bennett Drive. From that point on, the road is named the Chipley-Campbellton Highway. During this curve to the north, it encounters the headquarters for the Washington County Department of Parks and Recreation. The remainder of the road is strictly rural. Four local streets are intersected within the county before the road crosses a bridge over a small creek and curves north during its last run through the county. Almost immediately after crossing the Washington-Jackson County Line, it has a blinker-light intersection with County Road 164 (Lovewood Road). Winding around some farmland and taking a curve more toward the east, County Road 193, which is named "Smokey Road" northwest of SR 273, and is an unmarked dirt road named "Smoky Road" southeast of SR 273. After this, it passes one more dirt road and then encounters the western segment of County Road 162 (Rachel Road), which joins SR 273 in a concurrency. After an embankment over some lowland and then climbing a slight grade, SR 273/CR 162 makes another slight right curve where it encounters another blinker-light intersection with County Road 169 (Peanut Road), which unlike the one at CR 164 contains four-way stop signs.
