State Trunk Highway 27 (often called Highway 27, STH 27 or WIS 27) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The highway spans a length of 294 miles (473 km) and is generally two-lane local road with the exception of urban multilane arterials within some cities. Earlier routing of the highway had it reaching Superior along the present US 53 and Fennimore along the present US 61 and following I-94 between Black River Falls and Osseo.
In southern Crawford County, WIS 27 begins at a junction with US 18, WIS 60 and WIS 35 in Prairie du Chien. The highway turns north after a three-mile (5 km) northeast stretch out of the city and passes through Eastman and Mount Sterling. After entering Vernon County, WIS 27 converges with Wisconsin Highway 82 and turns northeast in Fargo. The two highways continue concurrent for seven miles (11 km) and turn northwest onto US 14 and US 61. WIS 82 turns east off the concurrency in downtown Viroqua at the junction with WIS 56 west. WIS 27 turns north off the concurrency with the U.S. Highways in Westby and crosses into Monroe County near Newry. The highway crosses WIS 33 in Cashton, Wisconsin and passes through Melvina before crossing I-90 just south of Sparta. In downtown Sparta, WIS 27 crosses WIS 16. The junction is also the west terminus of WIS 21 and the point where WIS 71 west joins WIS 27 heading north. WIS 71 west follows WIS 16 east. WIS 71 turns westward off the highway near Four Corners. WIS 27 enters Jackson County seven miles (11 km) north of the WIS 71 West junction.
