North Dundas is a township in Eastern Ontario, Canada, in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, and spread across the South Nation River and the East Castor River watersheds.

North Dundas is located within Canada's National Capital Region, approximately midway between Ottawa and Morrisburg. It is primarily rural with a few small villages.

The township was incorporated on January 1, 1998, by amalgamating the former townships of Mountain and Winchester with the independent villages of Chesterville and Winchester. The former village of Winchester is the township's primary administrative centre.
