North East Road is a major arterial road that travels, as its name suggests, through the north-eastern suburbs of the Australian city of Adelaide. It starts (as Northcote Terrace) at the intersection of Robe Terrace and Park Road/Mann Road in North Adelaide, about 500 metres away from the beginning of Adelaide's O-Bahn Busway, travelling through Adelaide's north-east growth corridor, beyond it to the distinctly less-urban region of Houghton, where it meets in an intersection with the Lower North East Road, leading back to Adelaide's more easterly suburbs.

The road passes through Modbury and the district's shopping centre, the Westfield Tea Tree Plaza, and the terminus of the O-Bahn at the Tea Tree Plaza Interchange just outside it. It intersects with Hampstead Road/Ascot Avenue in Vale Park, and also with the Grand Junction Road in Valley View.

The road continues from Houghton eastwards towards Mannum, roughly 65km away, as the Adelaide-Mannum Road.
