Menzies Ferry is a farming locality on the west side of the Mataura River in the east of Southland District, in the south of New Zealand.

It gained its name from Dr. James Alexander Robertson Menzies, who supplied a boat to ferry passengers across the Mataura.

[2] Surrounding communities are Edendale to the north-west, Wyndham to the north-east, Mataura Island to the south, and Seaward Downs to the south-west.

The terrain of the locality is generally flat, with a measured elevation of 26 metres above sea level at the centre of the area.

[6] In January 1911, two children and their father, who tried to rescue them, were burnt to death when their farmhouse caught fire during the early morning milking time.
