The Northern Taurach (German: Nördliche Taurach), also called the Pongau Taurach (Pongauer Taurach) is a right-hand tributary of the Enns in Austria. It is one of the two rivers named Taurach, both of which rise near the Radstädter Tauern Pass, but drain in opposite directions. The two valleys, which descend from the Tauern Pass, are also both called the Taurach Valley (Taurachtal). Together they link the Enns valley to the Mur valley in a north-south direction.
The Northern Taurach is about 20 kilometres long and thus considerably shorter than the Southern Taurach, but has a greater height difference from source to mouth of over 900 metres.
