Johnsonville is a large suburb of northern Wellington, New Zealand. It is located seven kilometres north of the city centre, at the top of the Ngauranga Gorge, on the main route to Porirua, which is part of State Highway 1. The population of "J'ville" (as it is commonly known) was about 6,500 as of the 2001 census.
Johnsonville is a reasonably large residential and commercial suburb. It is at the northern terminus of a dedicated rail line to Wellington City which supports the large commuter population. Housing is spread around the shopping hub in the centre and extends out to the base of Mt Kaukau to the west, and out across the hill towards the suburb of Newlands to the south-east.
Johnsonville has a large infrastructure and is self-sufficient; it has its own shopping mall, two supermarkets and a good number of other retail outlets.
The residents of nearby suburbs such as Newlands, Khandallah, Ngaio, Churton Park and Raroa also utilise its resources, sharing the same railway line and relying to some extent on its retail resources.
Johnsonville is home to Onslow College, a relatively large multicultural co-educational high school.
