New Hampshire Route 4 is a 3.78-mile (6.08 km) long state highway located in eastern Strafford County, New Hampshire. It runs from downtown Dover northeast through Rollinsford to the Maine state border, where it continues as Maine State Route 4 in South Berwick.
For most of its length NH 4 is signed as an east-west highway. Signage in downtown Dover, over its concurrency with NH 9 and NH 108, is inconsistent as it is sometimes signed north-south. It follows a generally southwest-to-northeast alignment.
NH Route 4 is not the same road as, nor is it related to, nearby U.S. Route 4, which also enters the Dover city limits. This is the only instance of two non-linked highways sharing a number in the state.

Famous quotes containing the words hampshire and/or route:
“The New Hampshire girls who came to Lowell were descendants of the sturdy backwoodsmen who settled that State scarcely a hundred years before.... They were earnest and capable; ready to undertake anything that was worth doing. My dreamy, indolent nature was shamed into activity among them. They gave me a larger, firmer ideal of womanhood.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
