Ardmore is a large rural locality of Auckland, New Zealand. Located to the South-East of Auckland CBD, just 27 km away. Half of Ardmore amalgamates with the Clevedon, Flat Bush, and The Gardens area, therefore is under local governance of both the Manukau City and Papakura District Councils.

The area contains Ardmore Airport, which is one of Auckland's busiest airports due to the aero club. This rural tranquility is located just to the east of the Auckland Metropolitan Area with Papakura being the closest town (within the Auckland urban area). Ardmore has a state co-educational primary school which provides education for the local children but the older teenaged children are sent to several colleges throughout the Auckland area.
