North Carolina Highway 179 (NC 179) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It runs from the South Carolina state line, near Little River, to Shallotte.
Though NC 179 begins at the state line, SC 179 is a short 0.7-mile-long (1.1 km) road that connects to US 17 in Little River. From the state line, NC 179 goes through the town of Calabash. With a short concurrency with NC 904, it continues northeast through Ocean Isle Beach ending in Shallotte. The entire route is two lanes wide.
Established in 1979, NC 179 was new routing over mostly existing secondary roads, including the concurrency with NC 904. In August 2000, NC 179 was rerouted north around Sunset Beach; a year later NC 179 Business was established along the original route through Sunset Beach.
The entire route is in Brunswick County.
