The Northern Lower Austria Alps or Lower Austria Alps (Niederösterreichische Nordalpen in German) is the proposed name for a subdivision of mountains in a new, and as yet unadopted, classification of the Alps. They are the northernmost section of the Alps.

Administratively the range belongs to the Austrian state of Lower Austria and, marginally, to the states of Upper Austria and Styria. The whole range is drained by the Danube river.

According to the proposal by SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps), the mountain range is an Alpine section, classified in the following way:^[2]

• main part = Eastern Alps
• major sector = Northern Limestone Alps
• section = Northern Lower Austria Alps
• code = II/B-27

Lower Austria Alps are divided into three Alpine subsections:^[2]

• Türnitzer Alpen - SOIUSA code:II/B-27.I;
• Ybbstaler Alpen - SOIUSA code:II/B-27.II;
• Östliche Niederösterreichische Voralpen - SOIUSA code:II/B-27.III.

The chief summits of the range are:
