North Carolina Highway 94 (NC 94) is a north–south North Carolina highway running for approximately seventy-three and a half miles (118.3 km) from southern Chowan County to Swan Quarter in Hyde County.
The route spans the Albemarle Sound at the 3.5-mile (5.6 km) Albemarle Sound Bridge, connecting Chowan and Washington counties. It also crosses Lake Mattamuskeet at the Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge. The highway passes through the following municipalities:
NC 94 was established in 1930 as a new primary spur routing from NC 91, in Swindell Fork, to Fairfield. In 1931, NC 94 was extended north on new primary routing to NC 90, in Columbia. In 1935, NC 94's southern terminus was rerouted to US 264, in Rose Bay; the reroute was a swap with NC 6. In 1942, NC 94 was rerouted at Fairfield onto new primary routing directly south through Lake Mattamuskeet. The nearly six-mile (9.7 km) causeway connects directly with US 264 near New Holland; the former alignment that went around the western banks of Lake Mattamuskeet were downgraded to secondary roads (Piney Woods Road (SR 1305) and Turnpike Road (SR 1304)).
