Millwater is a northern suburb of Auckland, located in New Zealand. It is about 33 kilometres (by road) north of the city centre. The Auckland Northern Motorway and Orewa River form its western and northern boundaries respectively.

Millwater was built on former farmland in 2005.[3] Development is expected to be complete in 2022, with an anticipated population of 10,000.[4]

A companion suburb of Milldale is intended on the other side of the Northern Motorway, and this will include a new primary school for the area.[5]
