North Mackay is a suburb of Mackay in the Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, North Mackay had a population of 6,194 people.
Although in present times North Mackay is an officially and precisely bounded area, historically and in informal use the term "North Mackay" or "Mackay North" may refer to any part of Mackay north of the Pioneer River. For a part of its life, it and surrounding suburbs were also actually part of the historic Shire of Pioneer.
