It has been suggested that this article be merged with List of cities in New Zealand, List of cities and towns in the South Island, List of cities and towns in the South Island by population, List of functional urban areas in New Zealand, List of towns in New Zealand and List of New Zealand urban areas by population to List of populated places in New Zealand. (Discuss) Proposed since December 2025. |
Towns are not legally defined in New Zealand since the 1989 local government reforms; however, historically town districts and county towns were legally defined and recognised. This list includes both legal entities such as town districts and settlements commonly referred to as towns. It excludes cities, except for the smallest one (Gisborne).
