Northern Ontario is a primary geographic and quasi-administrative region of the Canadian province of Ontario, the other primary region being Southern Ontario. Most of the core geographic region is located on part of the Superior Geological Province of the Canadian Shield, a vast rocky plateau located mainly north of Lake Huron, the French River, Lake Nipissing, and the Mattawa River. The statistical region extends south of the Mattawa River to include all of the District of Nipissing. The southern section of this district lies on part of the Grenville Geological Province of the Shield which occupies the transitional area between Northern and Southern Ontario. The extended federal and provincial quasi-administrative regions of Northern Ontario have their own boundaries even further south in the transitional area that vary according to their respective government policies and requirements. Ontario government departments and agencies such as the Growth Plan for Northern Ontario and the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation define Northern Ontario as all areas north of, and including, the districts of Parry Sound and Nipissing for political purposes, and the federal but not the provincial government also includes the district of Muskoka.

The Ring of Fire is a vast, mineral-rich region located in the remote James Bay Lowlands of Northern Ontario, Canada. Spanning approximately 5,000 square kilometres (1,900 sq mi), the area is rich in chromite, nickel, copper, platinum group elements, gold, zinc, and other valuable minerals. Discovered in the early 21st century, the Ring of Fire is considered one of the most significant mineral deposits in Canada, with the potential to greatly impact the nation's economy and global mining industry. The development of this region has been a subject of ongoing debate, as stakeholders weigh the economic benefits against environmental concerns and the rights of Indigenous communities in the area. Despite these challenges, the Ring of Fire had remained a focal point for the Canadian mining sector and government, as well as international investors. By July 2023, the federal and provincial governments were no longer in agreement on priorities for federal funding of the Ring of Fire. Georgia Lake lithium project, KGHM's Victoria mine proposal and the Onaping Depth nickel project—which will produce minerals required for the low carbon economy—had become higher priorities, particularly as the Ring of Fire project is situated in a region of "vast, environmentally sensitive...peatlands".
