State Route 373 (SR 373) is north–south state highway in the southern portion of Ohio. Its southern terminus is just over eleven miles (18 km) north of Ironton at SR 93 at the hamlet of Bartles, and its northern terminus is at about three miles (4.8 km) to the north of its southern terminus, also at SR 93.
The highway was designated in the mid-1930s at about the same time a number of similarly numbered highways, SR 370, SR 371 and SR 372, were created. All of these routes share a common bond in that they were established specifically to serve state parks and state forests. However, unlike the other three routes, which are all spurs, SR 373 is a loop route that intersects SR 93 at both endpoints, while providing access to Dean State Forest. Through the entirety of its route, SR 373 also passes through Wayne National Forest.
