Banks Peninsula Track, Coastal hiking trail in Canterbury, New Zealand.

The Banks Track is a 31-kilometre privately owned walking track on Banks Peninsula in Canterbury, New Zealand. It runs from Ōnuku, outside Akaroa, via Flea Bay Cottage and Stony Bay Cottage back to Akaroa, reaching 699 metres at Trig GG. The route crosses coastline, forest, bush, pastures and the Hinewai Reserve.

The track opened in 1989 as New Zealand's first privately owned walking track. Ten landowners, mostly farmers, established it to supplement income after drought and the removal of farm subsidies in the 1980s, and a limited liability company manages operations. Landowners receive an annual sum based on walker numbers, land traversed and responsibility for track operations.

The track is run by a limited liability company formed by ten landowners, mostly farmers, who receive an annual payment based on the number of walkers, the length of track across their land and their share of operations. Walkers stay in the landowners' cottages at Flea Bay and Stony Bay, and the name Banks Track refers to the peninsula, not to banks.

The track is open from October through April. Both the Three Day Classic Walk and the Two Day Hikers Option start and end in Akaroa, with a bus ride to the start on a farm at Ōnuku. Hikers carry their own sleeping bags, food and cooking utensils for the huts.

A section of the route passes through a protected penguin reserve at Flea Bay, where little blue penguins return to their nests in the evening. This rare natural event shows the wildlife that lives along the path.
