ABC North Coast is an ABC Local Radio station based in Lismore and broadcasting to the Northern Rivers region in New South Wales. This includes the towns and cities of Grafton, Ballina, Byron Bay, Casino and Murwillumbah.

Even though Tweed Heads is in the Northern Rivers region, the city is covered by ABC Gold Coast since Tweed Heads is on the border with the Gold Coast.

The station began as 2NR in 1936 originally based in Grafton, moving to Lismore in 1989. It is heard on these main AM and FM frequencies:

* 2NR 738 AM (Grafton and Clarence Valley)
* 2ML 720 AM (Tweed Valley and Gold Coast)
* 2NNR 94.5 FM (Richmond and the Tweed)
* 2WPR 91,3 FM (Bonalbo)

The station airs locally focused programming from 6 am to 11 am. At all other times, it airs programming relayed from ABC Radio Sydney, or regional programming that airs on all provincial Local Radio stations.
