The NC State Wolfpack men's soccer team is a varsity intercollegiate athletic team of North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. The team is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, which is part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I. NC State's first men's soccer team was fielded in 1950. The team plays its home games at Dail Soccer Stadium in Raleigh. The Pack is coached by Marc Hubbard.

The Wolfpack had much of their success in the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, where over the span of 10 seasons, the Pack appeared in eight NCAA Tournaments. During this time, the Wolfpack won, to date, their only ACC Men's Soccer Tournament title, coming in 1990, as well as their only ACC Regular Season title, coming in 1994. Since then, the Wolfpack have made the NCAA Tournament on three occasions, qualifying in the 2003, 2005 and 2009 editions of the tournament.{{cite web|title=NC State celebrates soccer legacy|url=http://www.wralsportsfan.com/nc-state-celebrates-soccer-legacy/14940414/|website=WRAL (FM)|date=October 2015 |access-date=February 5, 2017}} Additionally, in 1990, the team had their deepest run in the NCAA Tournament, reaching their only College Cup in program history.{{cite web|last1=Morris|first1=Neil|title=Recalling the great 1990 N.C.
