Northwest Airlink is the trade name of Northwest Airlines' commuter airline service, which flies turboprop and regional jet aircraft from Northwest's domestic hubs in Minneapolis, Detroit, and Memphis. Service is primarily to small-to-medium sized cities and towns where larger aircraft might not be economical to operate and also to larger markets to provide supplemental 'extra seats'.

The service is formally operated by three separate companies:

• Pinnacle Airlines operates the Canadair Regional Jet throughout the United States
• Mesaba Airlines operates the Avro RJ-85 jet, Saab 340 turboprop, and Canadair Regional Jet throughout the United States

Fischer Brothers Aviation and Pacific Island Aviation formerly operated under the Northwest Airlink name.

Northwest and Mesaba are operating under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection.
