The Northern Michigan Wildcats are the athletic teams that represent Northern Michigan University, located in Marquette, Michigan, in NCAA intercollegiate sporting competitions. All of the teams compete at the Division II level with the exception of the men's ice hockey program, which plays at the Division I level.

The Wildcats compete as members of the North Division of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference for 14 of 17 varsity sports, with the men's hockey team playing in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, and the men's and women's skiing teams competing in the Central Collegiate Ski Association. NMU has been a member of the GLIAC since 1987.

Northern Michigan's rivals in sports action are the two other major schools in the upper peninsula: Michigan Technological University, and Lake Superior State University. The winner of the annual football game between NMU and Michigan Tech is awarded the Miner's Cup.
