Northman (; fl. 994) was a late 10th-century
English ealdorman (or earl), with a territorial base in
Northumbria north of the
River Tees. He appears in two different strands of source. These are, namely, the textual tradition of
Durham witnessed by
Historia de Sancto Cuthberto and the Durham
Liber Vitae, and an appearance in a witness list of a
charter of King
Æthelred II dated to 994. The latter is Northman's only appearance south of the
Humber, and came the year after Northumbria was attacked by
Vikings.
