Auckland Botanic Gardens, Botanical garden in Manurewa, Auckland Region, New Zealand.

Auckland Botanic Gardens is a botanical garden in Manurewa featuring distinct sections including African Plants, Conifer, Herb, and Rose Gardens spread across open grounds. Each zone presents different plant collections organized by type and origin.

The first proposal for an Auckland botanic garden came in 1926 from the Auckland District Horticultural Society, and in 1957 botanist V. J. Chapman noted Auckland was the only main New Zealand city without one. On 9 February 1968 the Auckland Regional Authority bought 42 hectares of the Nathan Estate in Manurewa, with Manukau City Council taking the remaining 40. A master plan was adopted in March 1972, Tom Pearce turned the first sod on 19 February 1973, and David Bellamy opened the gardens on 23 February 1982.

The Potter Children's Garden allows young visitors to explore plants and growth through hands-on discovery. This area shows how gardens serve as teaching spaces for families and schools in the community.

The gardens are open daily from early morning and offer free entry with parking available on site. Visitors should wear comfortable walking shoes as the pathways cover considerable ground between garden sections.

A biennial sculpture exhibition, Sculpture in the Gardens, began in 2007 and runs for three months over the summer, showing large-scale public sculptures among the plantings. The gardens also stood in for Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum, and later Zoo, in the television series Power Rangers Dino Charge.
