The Northern Premier League First Division is an football league covering the north of England. From the 2004-05 season it sits at step 4 of the National League System.

The top two teams, together with the winners of a playoff between the 3rd to 6th places, are promoted to a step 3 league (most likely the Northern Premier League Premier Division). The bottom two clubs may be relegated to one of several step 5 leagues.

As of 2006-2007, the league was intended to be split into the Northern Premier League First Division (North) and the Northern Premier League First Division (Midlands) [1]. This is to reflect a standardization of the National League System, in which the Northern Premier League and the Isthmian League will have their first divisions split to reflect the situation in the Southern League. However, this decision is now being debated, with the FA considering the possibility of cancelling the split in the north.
