The Scottish Junior Football North First Division (known as the McBookie.com First Division for sponsorship reasons) is the second tier of the North Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association. Clubs at the end of the season are promoted to the North Superleague.

The 'new' 2018 league is essentially a continuation of the North Division One which operated from 2003. It was split into two geographical sections from 2011, with the lower Division Two disbanded two years later. After five seasons of that setup, the simple three-division model was restored.
