List of North Carolina state agencies

This is a list of official agencies of the U.S. state of North Carolina. It includes state government departments, divisions, commissions, boards, and programs, as well as public-private partnerships and regional commissions and boards to which it is officially a party.

In general, the list is guided by the website North Carolina State Organizations A to Z, including those at the link Board and Commission Profiles.

Differences from the state lists:

• The individual North Carolina Community Colleges are not listed separately here, as are all included in their own Category: North Carolina Community System colleges.
• Departments led by members of the Council of State rather than the members positions.
• This list includes agencies with Wikipedia pages or items that do not appear on the state list, such as agencies that have closed.
• The North Carolina General Assembly and its parts are not included.
• Some boards and commissions have been combined with closely related agencies to create a single list entry.
