North Carolina Highway 124 (NC 124) is a 9.2-mile-long (14.8 km) primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. Entirely in Edgecombe County, it travels east from NC 42 near Bridgersville through Macclesfield to NC 42 and NC 43 near Old Sparta. NC 124 is a two-lane road which primarily runs through a rural area of Eastern North Carolina. It provides access from Macclesfield to Wilson and Greenville using NC 42 and U.S. Route 258 (US 258).

NC 124 first appeared on North Carolina state transportation maps in 1933, travelling from its current western terminus at NC 42 northeast of Bridgersville to US 258 and NC 12 in Crisp. By 1935, NC 12 was removed from its routing along US 258. The highway maintained the same routing until sometime between 1963 and 1964 when it was extended northeast from US 258 to its current eastern terminus at NC 42 and NC 43 southwest of Old Sparta.
