The North Warrnambool Football Club is an Australian rules football club which compete in the Hampden Football League.[1]

They are based near the regional Victorian city of Warrnambool at Bushfield and have played in the Hampden Football League since 1997.

The club was formed in 1986 with the merger of Grassmere and Bushfield Football clubs. The Merged club was known as Northern Districts and competed in the Warrnambool District Football League until it transferred to the Hampden league in 1997.

Northern Districts won the 1994 premiership in the Warrnambool District Football League and was runners-up in 1992.
