Hyde is a locality in Otago, New Zealand, located in the Strath-Taieri. It is close to the northern end of the Rock and Pillar Range on State Highway 87 between Middlemarch and Ranfurly.

Hyde is best known as the site of the Hyde railway disaster of June 1943, in which 21 people were killed when an express train derailed at high speed in a cutting. This remains New Zealand's second-worst railway disaster.
