List of Governors of North Carolina

The following is a list of governors, or chief executives, for the U.S. state of North Carolina.

The 13-member Provincial Council, renamed the Council of Safety in April 1776, was essentially the executive authority during the second year of the Revolution, and was appointed by the Provincial Congress. The Presidency of the Council and the Presidency of the Congress could each be considered the highest offices in the state during this time, but the council was supreme when the congress was not in session.

After the current state constitution was ratified in 1971, governors are limited to two consecutive terms in office; they had previously been limited to one term.
