Yellowknife North is a territorial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories, Canada. It is one of seven districts that represent Yellowknife, the territorial capital. It encompasses Old Town, Niven Heights, some of downtown, and a large rural hinterland centered on the Ingraham Trail.
The district previously existed from 1975 to 1999, but was dissolved at the 1999 election.
The riding was recreated for the 2015 election, from part of the former district of Weledeh.[1]
