North Sydney is the name of a suburb, local and federal government area, and commercial district on the northern shore of Sydney Harbour in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

North Sydney is located about three kilometers north of the central business district of Sydney, to which it is directly linked by road and rail across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The commercial district of North Sydney includes the second largest concentration of office buildings in New South Wales, with a large representation from the advertising and information technology industries. Unlike other major suburban hubs within the Sydney metropolitan area, North Sydney has very limited shopping facilities, although there is currently redevelopment of a Shopping World complex along Berry St. The only other main shopping complex, is the Greenwood Shopping Centre which is connected to North Sydney station. Despite being a busy area, there has been an exodus of businesses that have moved their offices to other areas such as North Ryde and Chatswood as the local rents are high.

North Sydney Council is proclaimed to have one of the lowest council rates in Australia, which no doubt is due to the strong business presence in the area. It also has three of the country's prestigious private schools — Shore , Monte Sant'Angelo , and Wenona . Other schools are Marist Brothers School , and the state-owned selective North Sydney Boys' and North Sydney Girls' High Schools. St Aloysius' College of Milson's Point and Loreto Kirribilli are also within the council's reach and the confines of the North Sydney electoral boundary.
