'New Lynn' is a residential suburb of Waitakere, one of the four cities that make up the Auckland metropolitan area in northern New Zealand. As at 2003, it has a population of about 7,000.
New Lynn is located towards the west of the Auckland urban area, 10 kilometres to the southwest of the Auckland city centre. It is close to the boundary between Waitakere city and Auckland city, of which the boundary is at the eastern edge of the suburb. Other suburbs surrounding New Lynn include Blockhouse Bay, Avondale, Titirangi and Green Bay.
New Lynn has a train station directly next to the frequently used bus transport centre and the shopping mall.
New Lynn is located at a narrowing of the Auckland isthmus, and one of the two narrowest points joining the North Auckland Peninsula to the rest of the North Island (the other is at Otahuhu, to the southeast). At this point, between the Whau River (an estuarial arm of the Waitemata Harbour) in the north and Blockhouse Bay in the south, the island is a mere 2800 metres wide.
At the southern end of the suburb is one of Auckland's best known golf courses, the Titirangi Golf Course.
