Casebrook is a suburb on the northern side of Christchurch city.
The land was farmed by Walter Case (1881?–1961). When Casebrook Intermediate was built in 1966, it combined his name with the presence of a stream near the school. The suburb developed subsequently and took its name from the school.{{cite web|url=https://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/PlaceNames/ChristchurchPlaceNames-A-M.pdf|title=Christchurch Place Names: A – M : Casebrook|page=64|publisher=Christchurch City Libraries|accessdate=8 September 2021}} There is a Walter Case Drive in the suburb. Casebrook contains one intermediate school and home to a local soccer team, the Nomads United.
