The North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) is a state agency designed to advocate for the relationship the state has with its military and veterans' installations and populations. It was created by the North Carolina General Assembly with the support of Governor Pat McCrory. The current head of the Department is Secretary Grier Martin, who succeeded Walter E. Gaskin in 2024. Prior to the creation of the Department, the Division of Veterans Affairs was under the Department of Administration while all military-related matters fell under the Department of Commerce.

The Department of Military and Veterans Affairs was created by the Executive Organization Act of 1971. It was abolished in 1977. In his 2015 state of the state address, Governor Pat McCrory declared it his goal to reestablish the department. Later that year the North Carolina General Assembly passed the state budget which provided for the recreation of the agency.
