New Zealand is an inner-city suburb of Derby in Derbyshire, England. It is surrounded by the Mackworth Estate, Rowditch and The West End suburbs. New Zealand also incorporates an area called the Morley Estate.

It is named after a farm belonging to the Chandos-Pole family which formerly stood in this area of Derby. The farm was originally named to commemorate the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, which established a British Government in New Zealand.[1]

New Zealand's boundaries are Uttoxeter Old Road to Ashbourne Road/Friargate then Ashbourne Road to Markeaton Island/A38 then Markeaton Island/A38 to A38/Kingsway then A38/Kingsway to Brackensdale Bridge/Lyttleton Street then Lyttleton Street to Cheviot Street then Cheviot Street to Slack Lane and finally Slack Lane to Uttoxeter Old Road.

There is the New Zealand Area Centre (the Lonny Wilsoncroft Centre) on Campion Street/Stepping Lane.
