<span class="mw-page-title-main">Northern Saskatchewan Administration District</span> Unincorporated area in Saskatchewan, Canada

The Northern Saskatchewan Administration District (NSAD) is the unincorporated area of Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. It encompasses approximately half of Saskatchewan's land mass. Despite its extent, the majority of Saskatchewanians live in the southern half of the province, while the majority of northern Saskatchewanians live in incorporated municipalities outside the NSAD's jurisdiction. The area is co-extensive with Division No. 18, Saskatchewan, one of Statistics Canada's census divisions in the province for its 2016 census.

Four provinces and territories in Canada have legislation that allow municipalities to conduct a municipal census. These include the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan and the territories of Nunavut and Yukon. Of these four provinces and territories, municipalities in Alberta were the only ones that exercise the option to conduct a municipal census as of 2006.

Canada has a total of 5,162 municipalities among its 10 provinces and 3 territories that are subject to some form of local government.
