Fairy Springs is a suburb of Rotorua in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island. It is located south of Ngongotahā, west of Koutu, east of Selwyn Heights, and north of Mangakakahi.[3]

A major arterial road, Fairy Springs Road, runs through the centre of the suburb.[3] The busy road has been used for political protests.[4] Motorists continued to use the road during severe flooding in April 2018.[5]
