Naseby is a small town, formerly a borough, in the Maniototo area of Central Otago, New Zealand.

It is named after a village in Northamptonshire, England, which was the site of a major battle during the English Civil War.

Eighteen stores, 14 hotels, two butchers and a hospital had also been built to service the miners.

By the time administrative boundaries were changed in the 1980s, it had become New Zealand's smallest borough, with a population of only around 100.

[7] Since 1900 Douglas fir, Larch, and Corsican pine have been planted on the former gold fields and these mature trees form the Naseby forest.

[8] Walking is also popular in the Naseby forest The Mount Ida Water Race was built beginning in 1873.

It winds its way along the Hawkdun Range, and collects water running off the streams as it flows towards Naseby.

A track follows the course of the race through the forest and provides pleasant mountain biking and walking opportunities.

Visitors can follow the Goldfields Heritage Trail making their way through historic goldmining sites and buildings.

Naseby was used for scenes in Goodbye Pork Pie and a Japanese film called The Promise.
