This glossary of geography terms is a list of definitions of terms and concepts used in geography and related fields, including Earth science, oceanography, cartography, and human geography, as well as those describing spatial dimension, topographical features, natural resources, and the collection, analysis, and visualization of geographic data. It is split across two articles:

• Glossary of geography terms (A–M) lists terms beginning with the letters A through M.
• This page, Glossary of geography terms (N–Z), lists terms beginning with the letters N through Z.
