Nordfriesland – Dithmarschen Nord is one of the 299 single member constituencies used for the German parliament, the Bundestag. One of eleven districts covering the state of Schleswig-Holstein, it covers the district of Nordfriesland and, from the northern part of the Dithmarschen district, the city of Heide and the collective municipalities of Büsum-Wesselburen, Eider and Heider Umland.
The constituency was created for the 1965 election, when the number of constituencies in Schleswig-Holstein was reduced from fourteen to eleven, expanding the Husum – Südtondern – Eiderstedt by adding parts of the Norder- und Süderdithmarschen constituency. Since its creation the constituency has usually been won by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the exceptions being the 1980 and 1998 elections, when it was won by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The current representative is Ingbert Liebing of the CDU.
