Carrington Hospital is a former lunatic asylum and psychiatric hospital listed as a Category I building, located in Point Chevalier, Auckland.

Serving as the main asylum for Auckland for over a century the asylum was closed down with the land and building sold to Carrington Technical Institute (later Unitec). Most of the former site was sold to the Crown in 2018–2021 to be used for a large residential development.
