North Carolina Highway 39 (NC 39) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. Traveling north–south, it connects the cities of Selma, Louisburg and Henderson, in the Research Triangle area.

NC 39 is a predominantly two-lane rural highway that travels 79.3 miles (127.6 km) from US 70/US 70A, in Selma, to the Virginia state line, north of Townsville.

NC 39 begins as a .9-mile (1.4 km) hidden concurrency along US 70, between US 70A and US 301/NC 96. This small segment, which also connects to I-95, only appears on NCDOT maps and is not signed. First signs of NC 39 appear alongside US 301/NC 96 through downtown Selma. Within the next 4.4 miles (7.1 km), NC 39 splits from both highways as it continues north, through the communities of Hares Crossroads and Emit, before crossing the Johnston–Wake county line.
