North Caucasian Federal District (Russian: Се́веро-Кавка́зский федера́льный о́круг, Severo-Kavkazsky federalny okrug) is one of the eight federal districts of Russia. It is located in the extreme southwest of Russia, in the geographical area of the North Caucasus. The federal district was split from Southern Federal District on January 19, 2010.

Ethnic Russians constitute less than one-third of the total population at 2,854,040 (30.26 %) according to the 2010 Census, but constitute a majority of 80% in Stavropol Krai and are at least 20% of the population in North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, and Karachay-Cherkessia. A diverse assortment of mostly Muslim ethnic and tribal groups form the remainder, and the North Caucasus Federal District is Russia's only Muslim-majority district.
