ISO 11783, known as Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry—Serial control and communications data network (commonly referred to as "ISO Bus" or "ISOBUS") is a communication protocol for the agriculture industry based on the SAE J1939 protocol (which includes CANbus) .

It is managed by the ISOBUS group in VDMA.

The ISOBUS standard specifies a serial data network for control and communications on forestry or agricultural tractors and implements.
