Melling is a suburb of Lower Hutt, to the north of Wellington in the North Island of New Zealand. It is on the west bank of the Hutt River, on State Highway 2, the Wellington-Hutt main road, and directly across the river from the centre of Lower Hutt. It is also the name of the three-lane bridge connecting the Hutt City central business district with State Highway 2, a route subject to extensive congestion at peak times. From the Melling Bridge it is possible to drive straight ahead into the hill suburbs of Harbourview and Tirohanga (Maori for "distant view").
A narrow gauge electric commuter rail service operates on weekdays between Melling and central Wellington.
Melling is a surname, and the name of three places, two in England and one in New Zealand, the surname deriving from the two English places.
