North Brother is a mountain located in Piscataquis County, Maine. North Brother is flanked to the northeast by Fort Mountain, and to the southwest by South Brother; collectively the two are called "The Brothers".

The south and east sides of North Brother drains into a swampy area called "The Klondike", thence into Wassataquoik Stream, the East Branch of the Penobscot River, and into Penobscot Bay. The north and west sides of North Brother drains into Little Nesowadnehunk Stream, Nesowadnehunk Stream, and the West Branch of the Penobscot River.

The Appalachian Trail, a 2,170-mile (3,500-km) National Scenic Trail from Georgia to Maine, reaches it northern terminus, Mount Katahdin, 5 mi. (8 km) to the southeast of The Brothers.
