Minuscule 983 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts), ε3017 (in the von Soden numbering of New Testament manuscripts),[1][2] is a 12th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. It is missing John 11:33-19:9.[3] The manuscript is part of a group of New Testament manuscripts known as Family 13 (ƒ13).[4]

Despite its current location being known, access to see the manuscript to take new colour images of its pages has been hampered due to an ongoing dispute between the monastery where it is housed, and the Greek government.[5]
