Ngauranga is a suburb of New Zealand's capital city, Wellington, in the lower North Island.

Situated on the western bank of Wellington Harbour, it lies to the north of the centre of the city.

The name comes from the Māori language ngā ūranga, meaning "the landing place (for canoes)".

It includes the Ngauranga Gorge, through which State Highway 1 passes on its route out of Wellington to Porirua and the west coast.

The small amount of usable land in Ngauranga is primarily used for commercial and industrial activity, though there are some houses on the hill overlooking the motorway.
