This list does not claim to be complete. It is currently being compiled and links to more information about the individuals will be added as they will become available.

If you are a New Zealander and an active astronomer, at home or overseas, or know of someone else who is not yet on our NZ Astronomers pages, please contact us with details and possibly a link to a personal web page. We would love to create a complete list of all Kiwi astronomers.
Thank you!

The lists are sorted by surname in strictly alphabetical order.
