Mabel Bush is a small community in the Southland region of New Zealand's South Island. The community has an estimated population of 75 people. The main building in the area is the Mabel Bush Hall, which consists of the hall and tennis courts. The Hall is mainly used for parties and community events, such as Euchre Night on Thursday evenings during the winter.

The area is predominantly farmland.

The closest city is Invercargill, which is around twenty kilometres away. But there are several villages nearby, such as Hedgehope to the north, Grove Bush to the west, Rakahouka to the southwest, and Dacre to the southeast. The nearest large waterway is the Makarewa River. It is used sometimes by anglers, it holds a large amount of small to medium brown trout and sometimes there is some perch depending how far downstream you travel.
