Nanaimo-North Cowichan is a provincial electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, established by the Electoral Districts Act, 2008. It is represented by Doug Routley (British Columbia New Democratic Party).

Under the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution, a substantial reorganization of electoral boundaries in the Nanaimo and mid-Island area will see Nanaimo-North Cowichan dissolved in 2024, with its territory split between the districts of Cowichan Valley, Ladysmith-Oceanside and Nanaimo-Gabriola Island.[1]
