Interstate 30 (abbreviated I-30) is an Interstate Highway in the southern United States. It runs from Interstate 20 west of Fort Worth, Texas northeast via Dallas, Texas and Texarkana, Arkansas to Interstate 40 in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The whole route, except for the short piece west of downtown Dallas (which was once part of Interstate 20), parallels U.S. Route 67.

Notes
- I-30 may continue along the U.S. Route 67 freeway from Little Rock. Also, if I-30 is extended, there are plans for an I-730 spur along Arkansas State Highway 226 from the corridor to Jonesboro, Arkansas.
- The section of I-30 between Dallas and Fort Worth is designated the Tom Landry Freeway in honor of the long-time Dallas Cowboys coach. Though I-30 passes well south of Texas Stadium, the Cowboys' current home, their new stadium in Arlington, Texas will be near I-30. However, the freeway designation was made before Arlington voted to build the new stadium. This section was previously known as the Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike, which preceded the Interstate system. Although tolls had not been collected for many years, it was still known as "Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike" until receiving its present name.
- Interstate 30 is the shortest x0 in the Interstate system. The x0's are the longest East-West Interstates.
