Federal University of Northern Tocantins (Portuguese: Universidade Federal do Norte do Tocantins, UFNT) is a multi-campus Brazilian federal public higher education institution based in the city of Araguaína, with a campus in Tocantinópolis. Law No. 13.856, which created the institution, was sanctioned on July 8, 2019, and only became effective on July 9, 2019, with its publication in the Diário Oficial da União (English: Federal Official Gazette).

The UFNT is the result of the separation of the Araguaína and Tocantinópolis campuses of the Federal University of Tocantins, with the creation of the Xambioá and Guaraí campuses planned.

However, the university only became effective after the appointment of the rectoral body, on July 9, 2020, and is still in the process of consolidation.
