Northern Jutland (Danish: Nørrejylland) is a historical region in Denmark, defined as Jutland north of the Kongeå (with the region south of the Kongeå called Southern Jutland (Sønderjylland)). As with other historical regions of Denmark, Northern Jutland had its own ting assembly in the Middle Ages, seated in Viborg.[1]

Today, Northern Jutland is covered by the regions of North Jutland and Central Jutland (except for Samsø[a]), and the northern parts of the Region of Southern Denmark.
