Gleniti is a suburb of Timaru, in the South Canterbury district and Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. It is located west of the town centre.[3]

The name is a hybrid of the Scottish term glen and the original Māori name for the area Wai-iti (which translates as little water).[3]

Gleniti is the home of Aorangi Park, South Canterbury's main sports complex.[4]
