State Route 243 (SR 243) was a 23.2-mile-long (37.3 km) north–south state highway located in the central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It existed in portions of Wilkinson and Baldwin counties.
The former portion of SR 243 that was concurrent with U.S. Route 441 Business (US 441 Bus.) was redesignated as SR 29 Bus. The portion from southwest of Gordon to north-northeast of Ivey, as well as the later roadway that was built from that point to southeast of Milledgeville became concurrent with SR 540, the state highway designation for the Fall Line Freeway (FLF; a highway that connects Columbus with Augusta), and was replaced in 2019 by an extended SR 540.
