The Northlander was a passenger train operated by the Ontario Northland Railway in Ontario, Canada.

The Northlander operated six days per week year-round in both directions and connected Cochrane with Toronto. The train typically consisted of one engine, an auxiliary power unit, two coaches and a cafeteria lounge car. It ran on ONR tracks from Cochrane to North Bay and on CN tracks south of North Bay to Toronto.

In March 2012, the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission announced plans to discontinue the Northlander and replace it with bus service (Routes 1 and 2).^[1] The final train ran on September 28, 2012.^[2] To push for the service's restoration, an advocacy group called All Aboard Northern Ontario was formed in October 2017.^[3]
