Malvín Norte is a barrio (neighbourhood or district) located in north eastern part of Montevideo, Uruguay.
This barrio shares borders with Unión to the west, Maroñas to the north, Las Canteras to the east, Malvín and Buceo to the south.
The neighborhood was the site of a multiyear conflict in 1987-1992 about the emissions of lead-contaminated smoke from the Gonzalez Hemanos S.A. metal smelters.[1]
It is home to the Faculty of Sciences of the University of the Republic of Uruguay.
