Afikpo North is a Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Nigeria.

Important townships include Ehugbo (with Itim Ukwu, Ohaisu, Nkpoghoro, Ugwuegu/Amaizu, Ozizza autonomous communities characteristic of towns too) Unwana and Amasiri.

It has a rich Igbo traditional heritage and culture and has festivals like the 'New Yam Festival' that hold at the end of the month of August every year, which marks the beginning of a new traditional year.

Ceremonial (now antique) masks have been carefully preserved by the state tourism board.

Several archaeological findings support the claim that Afikpo civilisation existed as far back as the Neolithic age.
