The Northern Taurach ({{langx|de|Nördliche Taurach}}), also called the Pongau Taurach ({{langx|de|Pongauer Taurach}}), is a river of the state Salzburg in Austria. Its drainage basin is {{cvt|88|km2}}.{{cite web|url=https://info.bmlrt.gv.at/dam/jcr:b5013882-8535-4d2d-9113-e78477ae9536/FlVerz_Enns_2011.pdf|title=Flächenverzeichnis der Flussgebiete: Ennsgebiet|work=Beiträge zur Hydrografie Österreichs Heft 61|page=10|date=October 2011}}

The Northern Taurach is a right-hand tributary of the Enns near Radstadt. It is one of the two rivers named Taurach, both of which rise near the Radstädter Tauern Pass, but drain in opposite directions – the other is called {{ill|Southern Taurach|ceb|Taurachbach (suba sa Ostriya, lat 47,13, long 13,82)|de|Südliche Taurach|sv|Taurachbach (vattendrag i Österrike, lat 47,13, long 13,82)}}. The two valleys, which descend from the Tauern Pass, are also both called Taurach Valley ({{ill|Taurachtal|ceb||de||sv}}). Together they link the Enns valley to the Mur valley in north–south direction.

The Northern Taurach is about {{convert|20|km}} long and thus considerably shorter than the Southern Taurach, but has a greater height difference from source to mouth of over {{convert|900|m}}.
