Northern Tutchone is an Athabaskan language of southern Yukon in Canada. Although they are sometimes considered separate languages, Northern and Southern Tutchone speakers are generally able to understand each other in conversation, albeit with moderate difficulty.

Northern Tutchone is spoken in the Yukon communities of Mayo, Pelly Crossing, Stewart Crossing, Carmacks, and Beaver Creek.

The Northern Tutchone language is threatened. In the 2011 census, Northern Tutchone was reported to have 210 speakers, with most speakers considered elderly. However, language revitalization programs hosted by the Yukon Native Language Centre and within communities themselves are underway.
