Perry North is a neighborhood in northern Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, about five miles from the heart of the downtown area. This community is also sometimes referred to as Observatory Hill, due to the fact that it hosts the Allegheny Observatory.

On the west and south, it extends to include all of the observatory land, and on the south it also envelopes part of Highwood Cemetery.

In addition to the Allegheny Observatory, Perry North hosts Riverview Park, a business district, and a large number of stately single-family homes. The community spans more than 1.5 square miles and has over 4,600 residents.

The Allegheny Observatory is one of the foremost astronomical research centers in the entire world, part of the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) Department of Physics and Astronomy. It is also designated as a historical landmark by the state and as a nationally registered historic place.
