Vienna North (German: Wien Nord), also known as Electoral District 9G (German: Wahlkreis 9G), is one of the 39 multi-member regional electoral districts of the National Council, the lower house of the Austrian Parliament, the national legislature of Austria. The electoral district was created in 1992 when electoral regulations were amended to add regional electoral districts to the existing state-wide electoral districts and came into being at the following legislative election in 1994. It consists of the districts of Donaustadt and Floridsdorf in the city-state of Vienna. The electoral district currently elects seven of the 183 members of the National Council using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2019 legislative election the constituency had 234,239 registered electors.

Vienna North was one 43 regional electoral districts (regionalwahlkreise) established by the "National Council Electoral Regulations 1992" (Nationalrats-Wahlordnung 1992) passed by the National Council in 1992.[4] It consisted of the districts of Donaustadt and Floridsdorf in the city-state of Vienna.[5] The district was initially allocated five seats in May 1993.[6] Electoral regulations require the allocation of seats amongst the electoral districts to be recalculated following each national census and in September 2002 the number of seats allocated to Vienna North was increased to six based on the population as at the 2001 national census.[7] The number of seats allocated to Vienna North was increased to seven in June 2023 based on the population as at the 2021 national census.[8]
