List of high commissioners of New Zealand to India

The high commissioner of New Zealand to India is New Zealand's foremost diplomatic representative in India, and in charge of New Zealand's diplomatic mission in India. As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, they exchange diplomatic relations in governmental level rather than through heads of state. Thus the countries exchange high commissioners, rather than ambassadors.

The high commission is located in New Delhi, India's capital city. New Zealand has maintained a resident high commissioner in India since 1970, except for a period from 1982 until 1985. The high commissioner to India is concurrently accredited to Bangladesh and Nepal
