North Carolina Highway 122 (NC 122) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The road has a southern terminus at NC 124 in Macclesfield and runs through rural areas to reach its northern terminus at NC 125 in Hobgood. The highway serves several smaller communities such as Speed and Pinetops, along with Tarboro, and intersects two U.S. Highways. NC 122 is primarily a two lane undivided road, except when the highways widens to a four-lane undivided road along Howard Avenue and Western Boulevard in Tarboro. The highway also becomes a six-lane divided highway during its concurrency with US 64.

NC 122 first appeared in mid-1931 as a new routing running from NC 12 (present-day US 258) east of Tarboro to its current northern terminus at NC 125 in Hobgood. The route stayed the same until 1994 when it was extended to its current southern terminus in Macclesfield.
