Neighbourly is a neighbourhood-based social networking website operating in New Zealand.[1]

The website was founded by Casey Eden. It was trialled in two Auckland suburbs, St Heliers and Kohimarama, in December 2013, then launched nationally in June 2015.[2][3]

In December 2014, Fairfax Media New Zealand bought a 22.5 percent stake in the website. In 2017 it acquired the remaining shares.[3][4] Following changes to Fairfax Media in 2018, the website is now owned by Stuff Ltd.

In 2015, the website was a finalist in the NZI Sustainable Business Network Awards in the Community Impact category.[2]
