North Carolina Highway 102 (NC 102) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It runs from NC 903 near Ayden to US 17 near Hackney between Vanceboro and Chocowinity. Most of the highway is rural, the only town it serves is Ayden.
NC 102 appeared on the first state highway map in 1924, running from Snow Hill to Goldsboro. At its peak, the road stretched from US 17 at its current eastern terminus to US 301 north of Fayetteville. The routing from I-95 to Snow Hill was renumbered as US 13 in 1977, and the segment of the route from its current western terminus to Snow Hill was replaced by an extension of NC 903.
