Foscoe is an unincorporated community in Watauga County, North Carolina, United States. The community is located on NC 105, southwest of Boone.

The community is bound between Seven Devils and Shulls Mill.[2] Multiple shops dot along the main highway, selling anything that relates to the area that tourist expect to find. Its development, since the 1980s, is thanks to year-round tourism to nearby area attractions; notably Grandfather Mountain, where visitors can make out an "old man with beard" on the mountain.

Historically, the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad (Nicknamed "Tweetsie") passed through the area until flooding destroyed the tracks in 1940. In 1956, NC 105 was built over the original rail bed through the area.
