This is a list of Pakistani New Zealanders. It includes New Zealand citizens and permanent residents of Pakistani ancestry, Pakistani-origin first generation immigrants who moved to New Zealand and were naturalised with New Zealand citizenship, as well as expatriates who are known to have resided in New Zealand.
