North Pagai (Indonesian: Pagai Utara) is the smallest of the four principal Mentawai Islands off the west coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. It is south of Sipora and north of South Pagai (or Pagai Selatan) Island.

The area and population figures given for North Pagai in the box to the right are for North Pagai District alone. They exclude the main part of Sikakap District which covers the southern part of North Pagai Island and the northern part of South Pagai Island, together with various small islands in the strait between the two. The town of Sikakap was used as a centre for relief operations related to the 2010 Mentawai earthquake and tsunami.[1]
