Leithfield is a small town in north Canterbury, New Zealand. It is on State Highway 1, five kilometres south of Amberley and 42 kilometres north of Christchurch. The Leithfield area consists of two semi-distinct areas, Leithfield Beach to the east of State Highway 1 and Leithfield Village adjacent to and immediately to the west of State Highway 1.

Though Leithfield has the second largest and second fastest growing population (2385 at 2006 NZ Census) in the Hurunui District, its regional importance is behind that of Amberley with it’s wine industry and the tourist centre of Hanmer Springs. This is due in large part to its proximity to the district centre at Amberley. Despite this proximity, the Leithfield community supports a school, library, summer swimming pool, and many small businesses.
