'''Interstate&nbsp;820''' ('''I-820'''{{efn|Some sources use "IH-820", as "IH" is an abbreviation used by TxDOT for Interstate Highways.<ref>{{cite web |author = Transportation Planning and Programming Division |date = n.d. |url = https://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/division/transportation-planning/highway-designation/glossary.html |title = Highway Designations Glossary |publisher = Texas Department of Transportation |access-date = May 20, 2020 |archive-date = July 10, 2022 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220710222932/https://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/division/transportation-planning/highway-designation/glossary.html |url-status = live }}</ref>}}) is an [[List of auxiliary Interstate Highways|auxiliary route]] of [[Interstate 20 in Texas|I-20]] in [[Fort Worth, Texas]], of approximately {{convert|35.173|mi|km}} around the city and some of its suburbs. Exit numbers begin at its interchange with I-20 in southwest Fort Worth and continue in a clockwise direction around the city until it ends at its interchange with I-20 in southeast Fort Worth. A portion of I-820 in the northeast quadrant is cosigned with [[Texas State Highway 121|State Highway&nbsp;121]] (SH&nbsp;121) as well as [[Texas State Highway 183|SH&nbsp;183]].

The northwest segment of the loop is officially designated as the '''Jim Wright Freeway''' after former U.S. House Speaker [[Jim Wright]]. The name, however, is not commonly used; the colloquial reference by the general public is "Loop&nbsp;820", or simply just 820. Additionally, the area of the highway is given based on its direction from [[Downtown Fort Worth]]; for example, "North Loop&nbsp;820" or "East Loop&nbsp;820" respectively specify the areas to the north or east of downtown. These colloquial designations do not refer to the direction of traffic flow.
