North Dallas is an area of numerous communities and neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas (United States). The phrase "North Dallas" is also sometimes used to include any suburb or exurb north of Dallas proper within the metropolitan area. The majority of North Dallas is located in Dallas County, while a small portion is located in Collin and Denton Counties. North Dallas generally includes areas of Dallas north of Northwest Highway, along with Lake Highlands and areas of Dallas north of IH-635 known as Far North Dallas. The area has strong social and economic ties to the Dallas enclave of Park Cities, and two inner suburbs of Dallas, Richardson and Addison. It is the wealthiest part of Dallas, but has its adjacent, yet scattered rough parts, as well.

As Dallas has grown over the last several decades, the concept of "North Dallas" has changed from the area just north of downtown, along Central Expressway (where North Dallas High School is located), to the far northern reaches of Dallas proper and the suburbs to the north of the city.

The following neighborhoods are generally considered part of or closely connected with North Dallas; however, some of them may not be located entirely within North Dallas or may be considered parts of North Dallas by some and not others.

Lake Highlands, and its neighborhoods, are generally considered as part of North Dallas by people and media, while at the same time a distinct area.

Far North Dallas includes areas north of IH-635, and may sometimes include portions of Lake Highlands that are also north of IH-635. Sometimes, Far North Dallas is also viewed as a distinct area from North Dallas.
