The Northwest Conference, also known as the Northwest Intercollegiate Association, the Northwest Intercollegiate Conference, the Pacific Northwest Conference, and the Pacific Northwest Intercollegiate Conference, was a collegiate athletic conference with member schools located in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

The conference's member institutions originally included the "Big Six": the large public universities of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho; the Washington State and Oregon State public agricultural colleges, and the private Whitman College. The conference was later expanded to include the University of Montana, Willamette, Pacific, and Gonzaga.

The conference folded in December 1925, giving way to another conference with the same name, the Northwest Conference, which remains in operation.
