    • North Palatinate[1][2] (German: Nordpfalz) is a region in southwest Germany with an area of just 650 km², making it the smallest landscape in the Palatinate region of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

    The other regions of the Palatinate are Anterior Palatinate, South Palatinate and West Palatinate.

    Towns
