New York State Route 102 (NY 102) is an east–west state highway in Nassau County, New York, in the United States. It is little more than an alternate route of NY 24 through the town of Hempstead. NY 102 leaves NY 24 in West Hempstead and follows Front Street through the village of Hempstead and Uniondale before rejoining NY 24 in East Meadow. The portion of NY 102 west of William Street is maintained by Nassau County and is unsigned while the remainder of the highway is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation and signed. NY 102 goes under the Meadowbrook State Parkway, but has no connecting ramps to or from the parkway. It does, however have a right-of-way for a formerly proposed eastbound lane.
NY 102 was assigned in the 1930s and has not been changed significantly since. The 2017 route log erroneously shows that NY 102's western terminus is at William Street in the village of Hempstead, where maintenance shifts from Nassau County to the state.
