North Warrandyte is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 25 km north-east of Melbourne's Central Business District. Its local government area is the Shire of Nillumbik. At the 2011 Census, North Warrandyte had a population of 2,954.

Located in the bushy hills north of the Yarra River and to the north of Warrandyte, North Warrandyte is separated from its neighbour of the same name by Municipal Boundaries, CFA Brigade (Country Fire Authority) Boundaries and Suburb Boundaries, yet the two exist as interlocked communities as though those boundaries didn't exist. Winding roads amongst the tree tops and unmade local streets are abundant in the small suburb.

North Warrandyte is set on the northern banks of the Yarra River, amongst hilly terrain, densely populated with a wide variety of Eucalyptus Trees.

Bus routes include:

Transportation in North Warrandyte is largely limited to the private car as there are no train and trams anywhere near the region. Most local roads are unmade and very narrow, however, all through roads (Primary & Secondary State Arterial Roads) are of a high quality and fully made, although the nature of the suburb's geography forces these roads to wind their way through the hills unrelentingly.

The suburb is serviced by two major roads; Research-Warrandyte Road and Kangaroo Ground-Warrandyte Road. Both roads handle all through traffic and converge in the southern area of the suburb as they find themselves at the Yarra River and then cross it via the 50-year-old Warrandyte Bridge and enter into Warrandyte. Most through traffic is either coming from or going to the suburbs of Warrandyte, Kangaroo Ground, Research and Eltham.
