Meeanee is a locality south of the city of Napier, in the Hawke's Bay Region on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island.

[1] Along with such locations as Clive and Havelock North, it is one of several places within Hawke's Bay to be named after events or people in Colonial India.

Meeanee was the only access inland to Taradale until the road was built in 1873, and was the site of a Catholic Marist mission station from the 1850s.

[4] The priests introduced viticulture to the Hawke's Bay region, planting several vineyards and establishing the Mission Estate Winery in 1851, New Zealand's oldest surviving winemaking concern.

[6] Meeanee is located on the flat coastal plain south of Napier, and surrounded by farmland and apple orchards.
