The North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians (NCAFP) is the Old North state's largest specialty medical association, with a membership of over 4,200 family physicians, family medicine residents, and medical students. Originally chartered in 1948, the NCAFP is a federated chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).

The purpose and mission of the NCAFP is to advance the specialty of family medicine to improve the health of patients, families, and communities in North Carolina. The Academy works toward this vision most principally through its ongoing professional advocacy and medical education efforts, and also through its affiliated philanthropic organization, the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians Foundation.
