'''North City''' is a fictional city in the world of ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' by [[Akira Toriyama]]. It was seen from a distance in [[Dragon Ball Chapter 349]] as the heroes sought to locate [[Doctor Gero's Lab]], but not directly depicted until ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F']]''. The city is located on Earth in sector [[A-3]], however the various depictions and guide book material are not consistent with respect to the city's geography.
