The New Zealand Music Hall of Fame is a figurative hall of fame dedicated to noteworthy musicians from New Zealand.

The hall was created in 2007 by Recorded Music NZ (then known as the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ)) and the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA).[1] Two inductions are made into the hall each year,[2] one at the APRA Silver Scroll Awards, decided by APRA, and the other is the winner of the Legacy Award at the New Zealand Music Awards (NZMAs), picked by Recorded Music NZ.[3]

As of November 2013, 14 inductions have been made into the hall. The Exponents frontman Jordan Luck was the inaugural inductee, honoured with the title at the 2007 APRA Silver Scroll Awards. Most recently, funk-rock group Supergroove were inducted at the 2014 New Zealand Music Awards, while composer Douglas Lilburn was posthumously honoured at the 2014 APRA Silver Scroll Awards.
