The North Hobart Football Club, nicknamed The Demons, is an Australian rules football club currently competing in the Southern Football League Premier Division. The club was a part of the Tasmanian Football League from the early 1900s until 2001, when it joined the Southern Football League. In 2009, North Hobart was invited into the second reincarnation of the statewide league, where it remained until 2013. After the 2013 season, its position in the league was effectively filled by the Hobart City Football Club. North Hobart returned to the Tasmanian State League in 2018. However, following the cessation of the TSL in 2024, the club rejoined the Southern Football League in 2025
In 2014, the North Hobart Football Club Inc. changed from an incorporated body to a company limited with 100% ownership of the Hobart City Football Club, with the Hobart City Demons now the trading name of North Hobart Football Club Ltd.
On October 9, 2017 the paying members of the Hobart City Demons voted 371-118 in favour of returning the playing name of the club to the North Hobart identity for season 2018 and beyond.
Players to reach Australian Football League level include Paul Williams, Peter 'Percy' Jones, Daryn Cresswell, Chris Bond, James Manson, Jim Wright, Tony Pickett, Colin Garland and several other big names. In total 54 North Hobart players have moved on to play at VFL/AFL level.
In 2005, North Hobart was the first club inducted into the AFL Tasmania Hall of Fame as a Great Club.
