The Northern District ( , mehoz hatzafon) is one of Israel's six administrative districts. The Northern District has a land area of 4,478 km2, which increases to 4,638 km2 when both land and water are included. Excluding the Golan Heights, which is 1,154 km2 in area, the land total comes to 3,324 km2 (3,484 km2 including water). The district capital and largest city in the North District is Nazareth.
The Golan Heights has been run as a sub-district of the North District of Israel since the 1981 Golan Heights Law was passed, although its de facto annexation is not internationally recognised, and the unenforced United Nations Security Council Resolution 497 declared the annexation invalid.
