Redwood is a northern suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand, which includes the sub-division of Redwood Springs. It is bordered by the Styx River to the north. Before the area was settled the original forest cover was tōtara and kahikatea. Like much of Christchurch, the early settlers drained the swamps and cut the bush to create farmland.

The area was originally part of the Waimairi County but was amalgamated into Christchurch City Council as part of the 1989 New Zealand local government reforms. The Main North Road runs through the suburb, connecting it to both the Christchurch Central City and settlements further north including Belfast and Kaiapoi. Redwood is part of the Christchurch Central parliamentary electorate.

History

Māori collected food from several areas in the Styx River catchment, but there appear to have been no permanent settlements in the area before European colonisation.{{sfn|Hills|Hills|2006|page=7}}{{cite web|title=Te Kete Wānanga o Te Kōpare o Iho|language=en|website=Christchurch City Libraries|access-date=3 January 2024|url=https://my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/te-kete-wananga-o-te-kopare-o-iho/|publisher=Christchurch City Council}} The area was covered in low-lying raupō swamp and marshland.{{sfn|Hills|Hills|2006|page=8}}
