Opera North is an English opera company based in Leeds. The company's home theatre is the Leeds Grand Theatre. The company also presents regular seasons in several other cities, at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham, the Lowry Centre, Salford Quays and the Theatre Royal, Newcastle.

Operas are performed either in English translation or in the original language of the libretto, in the latter case usually with surtitles.
