The Northern Ontario Women's Curling Championship, formerly the Northern Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts is the provincial women's championships of curling in Northern Ontario, Canada. Beginning with the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the winning team has a direct entry to the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Canada's national women's curling championship.

Prior to 2007, Northeastern Ontario and Northwestern Ontario each had their own qualifying tournaments for the Ontario championship. Northern Ontario was awarded a direct entry to the national championship beginning in 2015.

The tournament has only been won by two skips, Tracy Fleury and Krista McCarville.
