Vauxhall is an Auckland suburb.

It gets its name from the Vauxhall Gardens established here by pioneer settler William Colby in the 1870s. These in turn were named after the Vauxhall Gardens in London, some of the gardeners of which were brought out to New Zealand. Colby had bought the 40 acre "Cheltenham" estate in 1869 behind what is now known as Cheltenham Beach.Wises New Zealand Index, 7th Edition, 1979. p. 461. ]

Vauxhall was a constituent suburb of the Borough of Devonport until 1989 when the Borough disappeared in local body reorganisation and became part of the newly-created North Shore City.
