New Hampshire Route 125 (abbreviated NH 125) is a 51.97 mile long north–south state highway in Rockingham and Strafford counties in southeastern New Hampshire. It runs from Plaistow to just north of Milton. Although most of the road consists of only two lanes, NH 125 is a major north-south highway with heavy truck and tourist traffic, especially in the summer months, when the road is used as an alternate route between Interstate 495 in Haverhill, Massachusetts and the Spaulding Turnpike in Rochester.

The northern terminus of NH 125 is in the village of Union (town of Wakefield) at New Hampshire Route 153, just north of 125's junction with NH 16. The southern terminus is in Plaistow at the Massachusetts state line, where the road continues southward as Route 125.

In the Rochester-Milton area, the highway, known locally as Milton Road, parallels the Spaulding Turnpike, running between the turnpike and the border with Maine.

In the Epping-Barrington area, the highway is known as the Calef Highway, named after the locally famous Calef's Store in Barrington.
