CO (J = 1-0) line observations of the bar and nucleus of the intermediate barred spiral galaxy M83 were made with the 45-m telescope of the Nobeyama Radio Observatory with a 16-arcsec beam. The observed area was 3.8 kpc x 1.1 kpc, which covered the optical bar. A ridge of CO emission is found on the leading edge of the bar and is traced by straight dust lanes. In the mapped field, about 40 percent of the CO line flux is concentrated within a radius of 0.4 kpc around the center of the galaxy.
