Sekimachi-Kita (関町北) is a neighborhood of Nerima Ward in Tokyo, Japan. The residential address system has been implemented since January 1, 1978, and the current administrative names go from Sekmachi-Kita 1st Street to 5th Street (丁目, chōme).

The Shakujii River runs through the middle of the neighborhood, along the Seibu Shinjuku Line. Musashi-Seki Station is in the center of the neighborhood, and there is a shōtengai on both the north and south exits. North of the station is Honryūji Temple, known for the traditional Seki-no-Boroichi flea market, which has been held every December since 1751, during the Edo period. Southwest of the station is Musashi-Seki Park, a ward-operated park known for its cherry blossoms in spring and rentable boats. To the south is Ōme-kaidō Avenue, a highway that exists since the Edo period. Several Japanese animation studios are also located in this neighborhood.
