As Praias do Norte (em inglês: Northern Beaches) é uma área nos subúrbios costeiros do norte de Sydney, no estado de Nova Gales do Sul, Austrália, perto da costa do Pacífico. Esta área se estende para o sul até a entrada de Port Jackson (Porto de Sydney), a oeste até Middle Harbor e ao norte até a entrada de Broken Bay. A área foi anteriormente habitada pelos povos Garigal ou Caregal em uma região conhecida como país de Guringai.

O distrito de Praias do Norte é governado no nível local pelo Conselho de Praias do Nortel, que foi formado em maio de 2016 do Conselho de Warringah (est. 1906), Conselho de Manly (est. 1877), e Conselho de Pittwater (est. 1992). O censo australiano de 2011 encontrou as Praias do Norte como o distrito mais branco e mono-étnico na Austrália, contrastando com seus vizinhos mais diversos: o North Shore e o Central Coast.
