Opawa is an inner residential suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand. It is sited approximately 3.5 kilometres (2.2 miles) south-east of the city centre. The Māori name for the area is "Ōpāwaho". There was a pā located near the present-day Vincent Place and Judge Street intersection. The area later became a rural-agricultural locality, with many of the early settlers of English descent. Notable heritage-listed houses in the suburb include "Risingholme" and "The Hollies". The suburb was heavily urbanised during Woolston's industrial development and its population included factory workers and middle-class businesspeople. In 1916, Opawa was incorporated in to the city area. At a national level, the suburb is part of the Christchurch Central parliamentary electorate. The suburb also contains three primary schools.
The suburb's main retail area is centred on Opawa Road. The area developed on one of the earliest settled routes, at the intersection of Hawford and Reeves Roads. St Mark's Anglican Church, a prominent landmark in the suburb, is also located near the main retail area on Opawa Road. State Highway 76 (Brougham Street) and the Main South Line are situated further north of the suburb. Noted people with Opawa connections include some of the early settlers and several people who were born or educated in Opawa.
