The Northern Region (Maltese: Reġjun Tramuntana) is one of six regions of Malta. The region includes the northwestern part of the main island of Malta. The region borders the Eastern, Southern and Western Regions, and is also close to Gozo Region.

It was created by the Act No. XVI of 2009 out of part of Malta Majjistral.[1] Act No. XIV of 2019, which led to a regional reform in 2021, altered the region's composition and reduced its local councils from 12 to 9.
