Model Town is an upscale neighbourhood situated in North Delhi, India. It was built in the early 1950s by the DLF Group, then known as Delhi Land and Finance, and is one of the first privately developed neighborhoods in Delhi. Model Town is a large area and divided into blocks and sub-colonies. It is one of the three administrative divisions of the North Delhi district, along with Alipur and Narela.

The Model Town site was initially part of the Delhi Town Planning Committee's preferred location for New Delhi in 1912. The land north of Shahjahanabad was favored for its continuity with the old city and its inclusion of the Civil Lines area. This region was also linked to the Delhi Durbars, where the coronation ceremonies of three British monarchs took place.

The site for New Delhi was moved to Raisina Hill, south of Shahjahanabad, due to land acquisition costs and the desire to create new symbolism for the city, distancing it from the old city.

By the 1940s, Model Town's aristocratic landowners partnered with DLF to develop their estate into a neighborhood, becoming one of the best-planned areas before the 1962 master plan. This affluent residential area was Delhi's first elite neighborhood post-independence.

The Imperial Town Planning Movement led to the creation of New Delhi, Model Town, and Civil Lines, promoting low-rise development with large plots, single-storey buildings, and a maximum ground coverage of 25%.

Model Town is divided into 3 sub-colonies; Model Town - I, Model Town - II & Model Town - III.

Model Town is well connected by the Ring Road, and there is now access to the Outer Ring Road as well. 2 Metro Stations (Model Town and Azad Pur) are within easy reach.

Model Town is relatively centrally located, not more than 8 km from the city centre. Nearby areas include Azadpur, Derawal Nagar, Mahendru Enclave, Civil Lines, Kingsway Camp, Kamla Nagar, DR. Mukherji Nagar, Shalimar Bagh, Timarpur, Hudson Lines, Gujranwala Town and the University of Delhi's north campus.
