Springdale is a rural community in the Matamata-Piako District and Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.

It is located north-west of Tatuanui, north of Morrinsville and east of Tahuna near State Highway 27.

In 1912 the settlers' association decided to change the name: the two suggestions were Frogmore (due to the amount of frogs in the area) and Springfield (due to a nearby hot spring), Springfield was chosen but the name was altered to Springdale due to Springfield already being in use for a town in the South Island.

The area was very swampy in the early 20th century, but has been gradually been developed into productive farmland.

Before the 2023 census, the statistical area had a larger boundary, covering 258.11 km2 (99.66 sq mi).

Although some people chose not to answer the census's question about religious affiliation, 56.5% had no religion, 31.6% were Christian, 0.9% had Māori religious beliefs, 0.9% were Hindu, 0.2% were Muslim, 0.2% were Buddhist and 0.9% had other religions.

Del Parton, who attended the school from 1927 to 1934, was the oldest living former pupil at the event.
