List of North Carolina Union Civil War units

As in almost all Southern states during the American Civil War, a number of units were raised to fight for the Union Army, from pro-Union citizens and former slaves.

The list of North Carolina Confederate Civil War units is shown separately.

The first North Carolina Union Volunteer Infantry Regiment was established in the spring of 1862, around the city of New Bern.

[2] North Carolina Union troops captured and raided cities and towns in western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and southwest Virginia, most notably during the Battle of Bull's Gap, Battle of Red Banks and Stoneman's 1864 and 1865 raid.

The XVIII Corps stationed in North Carolina, was also one of the largest in the Union Army from 1862 to 1864.
