Carrboro es un pueblo fundado en 1911 perteneciente al condado de Orange en el estado de Carolina del Norte, Estados Unidos.
Con 16.782 habitantes según censo de 2000, el pueblo es conocido por sus ideales libertarias; de hecho, muchos consideran que Carrboro es el pueblo más libertario del sur: Fue el primer municipio de Carolina del Norte en elegir a un alcalde abiertamente homosexual Mike Nelson en 1995, y en garantizar los beneficios de la unión legal de parejas del mismo sexo (Ver domestic-partner). En octubre de 2002, Carrboro se encontraba entre los primeros municipios del Sur en adoptar resoluciones contrarias a la invasión de Irak de 2003 y la Patriot Act.
Carrboro se ubica cerca del pueblo de Chapel Hill donde está la Universidad de Carolina del Norte-Chapel Hill.
