Highway 102 is an east–west highway in Benton County, Arkansas. Its western terminus is at an intersection with Highway 43 southeast of Maysville. Its eastern terminus is in Bentonville, Arkansas at an intersection with Interstate 540 and U.S. Route 71. Towns along this route include Bentonville, Centerton and Decatur, where it has a short concueerncy with Highway 59. Originally 102's east terminus was at U.S. 71 (now Highway 72) north of Centerton, but was extended to the intersection of Highway 94 and U.S. Route 62 (now U.S. Route 62 Business) in Rogers. After the opening of Interstate 540 the section east of 540 was replaced by US 62.

Another section of Highway 102 began at U.S. 71 Business in Rogers, Arkansas and continued east ½ mile to the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad where it continued as West Olrich St. This road served primarily as state maintained access to a local poultry plant and was deleted in 2008.
