Northwestern (Icelandic: Norðurland vestra) was one of the multi-member constituencies of the Althing, the national legislature of Iceland. The constituency was established in 1959 following the nationwide extension of proportional representation for elections to the Althing. It was abolished in 2003 following the re-organisation of constituencies across Iceland when all municipalities in the constituency except Siglufjörður were merged with the Western and Westfjords constituencies to form the Northwest constituency. Siglufjörður was merged into the Northeast constituency. Northwestern was conterminous with the Northwestern region.
