North Shore is a New Zealand Parliamentary electorate returning one Member of Parliament to the New Zealand House of Representatives. The current MP for North Shore is Wayne Mapp MP of the National Party.[1] He has held this position since 1996.

North Shore stretches up the eastern coast of North Shore City in Auckland, starting in the south at Devonport and moving northwards to take in Lake Pupuke and the suburbs of Takapuna, Westlake and Campbells Bay. North Shore is predominately New Zealand European, and has an average income high above the national average, boasting some of the most expensive real estate in the country.

The seat has been contested at every election in New Zealand since 1946, and notwithstanding a single victory by future Attorney-General Martyn Finlay in its first contest, has been safely held by the National Party ever since.
