The Hump Ridge Track, also called the Tuatapere Hump Ridge Track, is a 61 km walking track that is partly in Fiordland National Park in New Zealand.[1] The track was opened in 2001 and is run privately on behalf of the Tuatapere Hump Ridge Track Charitable Trust.[2]

In 2019 it was announced that the track would become the eleventh of the New Zealand Great Walks, following upgrades.[3] The initial completion date of October 2022 was extended to October 2023 as a result of COVID-19 lockdowns and supply chain issues. As of September 2023, the expected completion date is now October 2024.[4]
