North Carolina Highway 275 (NC 275) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It connects the cities of Bessemer City, Dallas, and Stanley.

A state highway, state road, or state route is usually a road that is either numbered or maintained by a sub-national state or province. A road numbered by a state or province falls below numbered national highways in the hierarchy. Roads maintained by a state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other.
