North of the Border is a 1946 American Western film.

The movie was directed by B. Reeves Eason and based on a story by James Oliver Curwood. Many of the same cast and crew also worked on 'Neath Canadian Skies.^[1]

Although the film credits James Curwood, TCM states that "the film does not appear to have been based on one of his stories."^[2]
