Manukau (/ˈmɑːnʊˌkaʊ/), or Manukau Central, is a suburb of South Auckland, New Zealand. Centred on the Manukau City Centre business district, it is located 23 kilometres south of the Auckland Central Business District. Manukau is situated south of Papatoetoe, south-west of Flat Bush, and north of Manurewa and Wiri.
Manukau's name originates from the Manukau Harbour and means "only birds" ("manu kau") in Māori. Prior to the suburb, the name Manukau was given to the much larger districts Manukau County (1876–1965) and Manukau City (1965–2010).
The headquarters of Manukau City Council were in Manukau Central until the council was merged into Auckland Council in November 2010. Manukau Central should not be confused with Manukau City, which was the entire area administered by the city council.
