Springhills is a locality in the central Southland region of New Zealand's South Island.
[1] Situated in a gap between Forest Hill and the Hokonui Hills, it is located on State Highway 96 29 kilometres west of State Highway 1 near Mataura and 15 kilometres east of State Highway 6 at Winton.
The railway grew from a private bush tramway built in 1883 that ran from a junction with the Kingston Branch in Winton into the Browns Gap area.
Passenger services ceased on 9 February 1931, and due to declining freight tonnages, the Browns-Hedgehope section that passed through Springhills was closed on 24 December 1953.
Little evidence remains of Springhills' railway heritage, though the former line's formation can sometimes be discerned.
