Cashmere (Māori: Te Iringa-o-Kahukura) is a suburb which rises above the southern end of the city of Christchurch in New Zealand's South Island, on the north side of the Port Hills.

Cashmere is situated on the north side of the Port Hills, immediately above the southern terminus of Colombo Street and approximately five kilometres south of the city centre.

The suburb's location on the Port Hills offers it a commanding view over the rest of the mostly flat city.

Cashmere's proximity to the rest of the Port Hills has also made it a favourite for recreation, with the upper reaches of the suburb dominated by Victoria Park with its multiple bike and walking tracks and connections to further tracks running the length of the Port Hills.

The Ōpāwaho / Heathcote River marks the northern extent of the suburb, flowing roughly along the base of the Port Hills.
