1940年南卡罗莱纳飓风(英語:1940 South Carolina hurricane)是1940年8月11至12日袭击乔治亚州和南卡罗莱纳州沿海地区的二级飓风。气旋在背风群岛北面成型并向西北偏西移动,从巴哈马东侧经过后继续向西北偏西逼近美国东南部。风暴中心登陆美国,登陆点附近及北侧沿海地区预先收到飓风警告。南卡罗莱纳州海岸沿线测得约4米的风暴潮,北卡罗莱纳州北部降雨量普遍在380毫米以上。气旋向东南面缓慢移动,在此期间逐渐减弱,之后转变成温带气旋,乔治亚州、南卡罗莱纳州、田纳西州和弗吉尼亚州发生重大洪灾和山体滑坡。北卡罗莱纳州发生的山体滑坡属百年一遇水平,整场飓风一共造成50人遇难,损失总额达到1300万美元[注 1]。
