Census Division No. 23 (Churchill - Northern Manitoba) is a census division located within the Northern Region of the Province of Manitoba, Canada. Unlike in some other provinces, census divisions do not reflect the organization of local government in Manitoba. These areas exist solely for the purposes of statistical analysis and presentation; they have no government of their own.

The census division contains the Atlantic deep sea Port of Churchill.

The population of the census division was 8,252 in the 2006 census. The census division has a very diversified economic base ranging from mining, forestry, trapping, transportation and arctic resupply escorting.
