Airdrie North is one of the twenty-one wards used to elect members of North Lanarkshire Council.
[2] It elects four councillors and covers northern and eastern parts of Airdrie (Clarkston, Drumgelloch, Holehills and Thrashbush neighbourhoods) plus the outlying villages of Caldercruix, Wattston, Plains and Glenmavis.
Established in 2007, a boundary review in 2017 resulted in a very minor change (the loss of a few streets in Burnfoot).
In 2019, the ward's population was 20,137.
