Penrose is an industrial area in the city of Auckland, New Zealand. It is located to the southeast of the city centre, at a distance of about nine kilometres, between the suburbs of Oranga and Mount Wellington, and close to the Mangere Inlet, an arm of the Manukau Harbour.

The area was first settled by Europeans as a military establishment during the Maori Wars in the mid 1860s.

Ericsson Stadium, formerly known as Mount Smart Stadium, is located in Penrose.
