Ponsonby is an inner suburban area of the city of Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located two kilometres to the west of the city centre. Ponsonby is surrounded by the suburbs of St. Mary's Bay, Freemans Bay, Herne Bay, and Grey Lynn.

The suburb was originally called Dedwood in 1845, but the name was changed to Ponsonby in 1873. The origin of the name is not certain, but it is possible the suburb was named after prominent early Auckland resident Lieutenant-Colonel Ponsonby Peacocke.
