Noonan is a city in Divide County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 137 at the 2020 census.[3]

Noonan was founded in 1907 and named after a family that had business, farm, and coal interests in the area. It was once known as "The White City" because of an ordinance requiring all buildings to be painted white.[5] It is the birthplace of Gerald W. VandeWalle, who served a record-longest 45 years on the North Dakota Supreme Court beginning in 1978, including 26 years as its Chief Justice, from 1993 to 2019.
