Dupax del Norte is a municipality in the landlocked province of Nueva Vizcaya in the Philippines. As of the 2010 census, it had a population of 25,697 people.
Dupax del Norte, situated on the southeastern part of Nueva Vizcaya, has a total land area of 396 square kilometers. It is bounded by the town of Kasibu in the north, Alfonso Castañeda in the east, Dupax del Sur in the south, and Bambang in the west. It has wide tracts of virgin forests, rich, fertile plains and valleys with mineral deposits and is blessed with a climate suitable for agriculture.
The original town of Dupax was the largest municipality of the province of Nueva Vizcaya in terms of land area. The name "Dupax" comes from the Isinay word "dopaj". By "dopaj" the Isinays, who are the first inhabitants of Dupax, meant "to lie down in complete relaxation." The town's name was changed into "Dupax", after the arrival of the Spaniards who, for convenience, substituted the letter "x" in lieu of letter "j" for easy pronunciation. In 1971, the Congress passed into law Republic Act 6372 otherwise known as "An Act Creating the Municipality of Dupax del Sur from the Municipality of Dupax in the province of Nueva Vizcaya". President Ferdinand Marcos amended some sections and signed it into law with the promulgation of Presidential Decree 586 on November 26, 1974 which paved the way for the division of Dupax into two municipalities; Dupax del Norte and Dupax del Sur.
Dupax Del Norte is politically subdivided into 15 barangays:
