The 2028 New Zealand local elections () are future triennial elections planned to be held from September until 14 October 2028 to elect local mayors, councillors, and members of various other local government bodies. Regional councils will have been abolished under the current Sixth National Government's plans for local government reform, though this may change.
Tasman District Council mayor Tim King was critical of the government's process, preferring central government direction for potential amalgamations rather than expecting communities to come up with merger proposals themselves.
