U.S. Route 830 (US 830) was a U.S. Highway in Washington, which ran between a junction with US 97 near the city of Maryhill and a junction with US 101 near Naselle. The route still (mostly) exists; however it is currently signed as State Route 14 (SR 14) between Maryhill and Vancouver, Interstate 5 (I-5) between Vancouver and Longview, SR 432 for a short stretch through Longview; and SR 4 from Longview to the western terminus near Naselle. The number suggests that US 830 was an auxiliary route of US 30. While US 30 and US 830 never connected, they ran parallel to each other for the entire length of US 830. This route ran on the northern bank of the Columbia River (through Washington) whereas US 30 runs on the river's southern bank, through Oregon.

US 830 was created in 1926 as part of the initial set of United States Numbered Highways, running from US 101 at Megler to US 97 near Maryhill. It was {{convert|232|mi|km}} in 1932.{{cite WSDOT map |year=1932 |accessdate=October 29, 2021}} When it existed, US 830 was the highest-numbered route in the U.S. Highway System (and remains the highest U.S. route number ever used). The highest numbered route still in existence is US 730.{{cite web |title=United States Numbered Highways |year=1989 |url=http://route.transportation.org/Pages/U.S.NumberedHighways-1989Edition%28current%29.aspx |format=PDF |publisher=American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials |page=207 |access-date=March 23, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130320024135/http://route.transportation.org/Pages/U.S.NumberedHighways-1989Edition(current).aspx |archive-date=March 20, 2013 |url-status=dead }}
The stretch of (former) US 830 which is now I-5 ran concurrently with US 99 at one point. The stretch of US 830 between Maryhill and Dalleport was formerly concurrent with US 197 from 1952 onward;{{cite map |publisher = Rand McNally |title = Northwest, 1967 |year = 1967 |url = http://www.broermapsonline.org/members/NorthAmerica/UnitedStates/Northwest/gousha_ra_1967_028.html |access-date = October 1, 2017 }} now Dallesport is the northern terminus of US 197.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}}
US 830 was decommissioned in 1968{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} and was replaced by SR 4, I‑5, and SR 14.{{cite news |date = January 16, 1968 |title = New Highway 'Most Beautiful' |page = 14 |work = The Seattle Times |agency = Associated Press }}{{cite news |date = February 12, 1968 |title = Highway 410 Is Now Designated 12 |page = 11 |work = Walla Walla Union-Bulletin }}
