Laingholm is a small community situated in the Waitākere Ranges of West Auckland, New Zealand.

The name is derived from George and John Laing, who farmed the area starting in 1854,[3] before it was subdivided. Celebrations were held in 2003 for the 150th anniversary of European settlement.[4]

Laingholm is located on the shores of the Manukau Harbour and within the Waitākere Ranges.
