Woodend is a town in the Waimakariri District, in the Canterbury Region of the South Island of New Zealand. It may have been named because it was on the edge of what was then called the Maori Bush, or after an early settler, Thomas Wooding.[1] It is situated with both the Waimakariri and Ashley Rivers running either side.

The town has a population of {{NZ population data|Woodend|y|y|y| (|).}} It is {{convert|25|km}} north of central Christchurch, and is a satellite town of the city; at the 2006 Census, 63% of employed Woodend residents worked in Christchurch.[2]
