Fairy Springs is a suburb of Rotorua in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island. It is located south of Ngongotahā, west of Koutu, east of Selwyn Heights, and north of Mangakakahi.
A major arterial road, Fairy Springs Road, runs through the centre of the suburb. The busy road has been used for political protests. Motorists continued to use the road during severe flooding in April 2018.
Rainbow Springs Nature Park on Fairy Springs Road closed in 2022. The land was bought by a collective of Ngāti Whakaue, which developed it as Rotorua Heritage Farm and 3D Trick Art Gallery. In 2025, a retirement village was approved for the site.
