Iowa Highway 183 (Iowa 183) is a state highway in western Iowa. It runs north to south for 30 miles (48 km). It begins at an intersection with Iowa Highway 127 east of Mondamin and ends at an intersection with Iowa Highway 141 in Ute. The highway as currently constituted is the same as it was when it was commissioned in 1930. The first 17 miles (27 km) of the route are a part of the Loess Hills Scenic Byway.
Previously, the highway began at U.S. Route 30 in Missouri Valley. It was extended to U.S. Route 6 in Council Bluffs and then truncated to the northern city limits of Council Bluffs. The previously existing segment between Missouri Valley and Council Bluffs was a portion of the Lincoln Highway and is now County Road L20 in Harrison and Pottawattamie Counties.
Iowa Highway 183 begins 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Mondamin, at the foot of the Loess Hills, at an intersection with Iowa Highway 127. It heads north along the Loess Hills Scenic Byway (LHSB) with the Loess Hills rising immediately to the east. On the way to Pisgah, the highway approaches the Soldier River, which it follows for the rest of its routing. From Pisgah, Iowa 183 turns northeast and travels 7 miles (11 km) to Moorhead, where the LHSB splits off to the north. Northeast of Moorhead, it continues 5 1⁄2 miles (8.9 km) to Soldier, where it intersects Iowa Highway 37. The highway travels 6 miles (9.7 km) further to Ute, where it ends at Iowa Highway 141.
