The Republic of the North Solomons (also Republic of North Solomons or North Solomons Republic) was an unrecognised state that existed for about six months in what is now the Bougainville, Papua New Guinea.
On 1 September 1975, the North Solomons unilaterally declared independence from the Australian-administered territory of Papua New Guinea, which itself was due to become independent on 16 September.
It rejoined Papua New Guinea early in 1976.
