The North Carolina State Capitol is the capitol building of the U.S. state of North Carolina. Housing the offices of the Governor of North Carolina, it is located in the state capital of Raleigh on Capitol Square at One East Edenton Street. The Greek Revival building was designed by the architectural firm of Ithiel Town and Alexander Jackson Davis, and its construction was completed in 1840.

The Capitol housed the entire state government until 1888, and the North Carolina General Assembly met in the capitol building until 1963 when the legislature relocated to its current location in the North Carolina State Legislative Building. The offices of the state Lieutenant Governor were situated in the capitol building until after 1969, when the Lietenant Governor relocated to the Hawkins-Hartness House a few blocks away on North Blount Street. The North Carolina Supreme Court also has convened in the building in the past.

The Capitol was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973.^[2]^[3]
