The New Zealand Fire Service
- New Zealand's main firefighting body from 1 April 1976 until 1 July 2017
- It was dissolved and incorporated into the new Fire and Emergency New Zealand.
- The NZFS was somewhat unusual, internationally, in that it had jurisdiction over the entire country with no division by region or city.
- It was the result of the New Zealand Fire Service Act (1975), which nationalised the various District-level brigades that had developed across the country.
