The Surigao del Norte Provincial Board is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial legislature) of the Philippine province of Surigao del Norte.
Most of its members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into two districts, each having five seats. A voter votes up to five names, with the top five candidates per district being elected. The vice governor is the ex officio presiding officer, and only votes to break ties. The vice governor is elected via the plurality voting system province-wide.
Aside from the regular members, the board also includes the provincial federation presidents of the Liga ng mga Barangay (ABC, from its old name "Association of Barangay Captains"), the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK, youth councils) and the Philippine Councilors League (PCL) as ex officio members. They join the board shortly after they are elected as president of their respective league or federation following the regular local elections (in the case of PCL) or the barangay and SK elections (in the case of ABC and SK).
The districts used in the appropriation of members is coextensive with the legislative districts of Surigao del Norte.
