Northern America is the northernmost subcontinent of North America. It lies directly north of the region of Middle America, consisting of Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. The land border between the two regions coincides with the border between the United States and Mexico. Geopolitically, according to the scheme of geographic regions and subregions, Northern America consists ofBermuda, Canada, Greenland, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and the United States.

Maps using the term Northern America date back to 1755, when the region was occupied by France, Great Britain, and Spain. The Solemn Act of the Declaration of Independence of Northern America in 1813 applied to Mexico. Today, Northern America includes the Canada–US , developed countries that exhibit very high Human Development Indexes and intense economic integration while sharing many socioeconomic characteristics.
