Charteris Bay is a small settlement on Banks Peninsula in New Zealand.

The settlement is located on the south eastern side of Te Wharau / Charteris Bay, a large inlet of Lyttelton Harbour / Whakaraupō.

The community is notable for Orton Bradley Park and as the location of a quarry which produced a decorative sandstone used in many early buildings of Christchurch.

[6] At low tide some extensive mud flats support a wide range of wading birds including Royal spoonbills.

The Charteris Bay settlement is part of the Diamond Harbour SA2 statistical area.
