Abbotsford is a suburb of the New Zealand city of Dunedin. It is located to the west of the city centre.[3]

It is Immediately to the north of Green Island, and separated from it by State Highway 1 and South Island Main Trunk Railway (opened to Green Island in 1874).[4] Abbotsford is an entirely residential suburb with virtually no retail or service sector of its own – for these it relies on Green Island.
