Enderlin is a city in Ransom County, North Dakota in the United States. The population was 947 at the 2000 census. Enderlin was founded in 1891.

The name is derived from the semi-German "End der Line" ("end of the line"), as the city was once a railroad terminus. Railway shipping remains an important part of the local economy, especially since facilities in nearby towns have closed down. Another important part of the local economy is a sunflower processing plant located several miles east of town.
