The Northern Saskatchewan Administration District (NSAD) is the unincorporated area of Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. It encompasses approximately half of Saskatchewan's land mass. Despite its extent, the majority of Saskatchewanians live in the southern half of the province, while the majority of northern Saskatchewanians live in incorporated municipalities outside the NSAD's jurisdiction. The area is co-extensive with Division No. 18, Saskatchewan, one of Statistics Canada's census divisions in the province for its 2016 census.

The census division is the largest in the province in terms of area at 269996.55 km2, representing 46 per cent of the province's entire area of 588239.21 km2.

The most populous communities in the census division are La Ronge and La Loche with populations of 2,743 and 2,611 respectively.

The 2016 census also refers to the Unorganized Division No. 18, which counted only 1,115 residents, which placed its population density at 250 km2 for every inhabitant. The district has no local government and is directly subject to the Minister of Government Relations.
