Redwood is a part of Tawa, a suburb of Wellington, New Zealand. It is on the North Island Main Trunk Railway and is served by two stations, Redwood Railway Station and Takapu Road Railway Station. The Redwood subdivision was built on land acquired from the Catholic Church, on the condition that it be named in honour of the late Archbishop Francis Redwood. The line was originally built on a different route slightly further east by the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company, and the Wellington to Paremata section opened on 24 September 1885 without a station in Redwood.
