The Northern Illinois-Iowa Conference (NIIC) was a college athletic conference affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division III level. The conference was formed in 1969. Member institutions were located in the Midwestern United States in the states of Illinois and Iowa.
