Cerro Pared Norte is a mountain located in the Aisén Region of Chile. It lies on the Northern Patagonian Ice Field, at the center of a mountain ridge with steep slopes and sheer cliffs, at whose southern and northern tips lie, respectively, Cerro Pared Sur (2,548 m)^[1] and an unnamed summit. A glacier named after the mountain originates from their eastern slopes.^[2] "Pared Norte" (Spanish for "North Wall") gets its name from its shape and location.

The mountain and the surrounding area form part of Laguna San Rafael National Park.
