Southgate is a suburb of Wellington, New Zealand, in the Paekawakawa/Southern Ward. The main road is Buckley Road, which runs south from the point at which Mount Albert Road changes name to Houghton Bay Road.

The earliest residential housing was at the beginning of the 20th century.[3] A housing development was created on Buckley Road in 1957,[4] and another ten years later.[5] Most houses in the suburb were built in the 1970s.[3]
