Kiwiblog is a New Zealand political blog written by pollster and classic-liberal National Party-aligned political activist David Farrar.

Farrar started the blog in July 2003 at the instigation of then-prominent New Zealand blogger Gordon King. Farrar, who had previously mentioned that he had collaborators in writing the blog, in 2011 referred to an editorial team of five.[1][non-primary source needed] A National Business Review column stated in 2007 that "any realistic 'power list' produced in this country would include either Farrar or his fellow blogger and opinion leader Russell Brown."[2] In August 2006 the then National Party leader Don Brash commented on the blog.[3]
