Meremere is a small town in the northern Waikato region in the North Island of New Zealand.

It is located on the east bank of the Waikato River, 50 kilometres north of Hamilton and 63 km south of Auckland.

For a number of years a coal-fired power station operated in Meremere, and much of the workforce lived in the town.

[6] Meremere Dragway,[7] New Zealand's only permanent drag racing facility, is nearby and hosts many popular motorsports events throughout the year including Import All-Stars, 4&Rotary Nationals, Nostalgia Drags, the IHRA[8] Championships and Nightspeed Dragwars.

A new motorsports circuit has also been constructed alongside State Highway 1 to the south of Meremere, at Hampton Downs.
