This is a list of places in [[New Zealand]] with [[reduplication|reduplicated]] names, often as a result of the grammatical rules of the [[Māori language]] from which many of the names derive.
In Māori, both partial and full reduplication occurs. The change in sense is sometimes to reduce the intensity of the meaning, e.g. ''wera'', hot, ''werawera'', warm.<ref>{{cite web|title=Introduction|url=http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-WillDict-t1-front-d5.html|work=A Dictionary of the Maori Language|publisher=New Zealand Electronic Text Collection|accessdate=5 August 2013}}</ref>
Note that not all places which appear to have reduplicated names in New Zealand have. For example, the name of the Auckland suburb of [[Te Papapa]] comes either from a vegetable, ''papapa'', or from the words for fort and flat (slabs), ''[[pā]]'' and ''papa'' respectively.
