Goalkeepers Lee Harper and Scott Bevan were barely tested as these shot-shy sides continued recent habits in a Sixfields stalemate.
Huddersfield have not conceded a goal now for 373 minutes but like the Cobblers they are finding goals hard to come by although they stretched their unbeaten run to four matches.
Terriers boss Mick Wadsworth was satisfied with the point and said: "We have got to carry on grinding out results like this but I feel we have the side capable of doing that."
Northampton boss Kevan Broadhurst is fully aware his strikers are firing blanks after only one goal in six matches but he said: "We will stay positive about this. I am not sure when the next goal will come.
"We are perhaps trying to score the perfect goal at the moment, but as long as we continue to apply ourselves like this I'm sure we will be alright."
Northampton created the better quality of chance, with Paul McGregor and Marco Gabbiadini going closest for the home side.
McGregor was put clear five minutes after the restart only for Bevan to make a blocking save while Gabbiadini was unlucky with a late header and a fierce drive from the edge of the box which whistled over the crossbar two minutes from time.
Both managers took heart from the performances of players who were making full debuts.
Armand One made his first start for Northampton after arriving on a month's loan from Cambridge. The French-born teenager offered enough nuisance value in attack to suggest he can help end the current drought.
Huddersfield's rookie central defender Nat Brown also made an encouraging start, leaving Wadsworth to remark: "He has the qualities to go on and be a great centre-half."
