Telecom New Zealand is a telecommunications company, owns most of the New Zealand telephone network and is the second largest mobile phone operator.

Telecom was formed in 1987 from a division of the New Zealand Post Office and privatised in 1990. The selling price is considered by many to be extremely low, given that Telecom had a monopoly of all phone lines in New Zealand at the time. Others consider that the capital requirements to modernise the network were better provided by private enterprise than the government.
