Bream Head is a promontory on the east coast of Northland in the North Island of New Zealand.
Located at the end of a 30 kilometre-long peninsula, the head juts into the Pacific Ocean to the southeast of Whangārei.
It forms the northern extremity of Bream Bay, and guards the entrance to Whangārei Harbour, a natural inlet extending to the northwest.
The Marsden Point Oil Refinery is located on the opposing shore of the harbour five kilometres to the west.
