Lower Hutt is a city in the Wellington Region of New Zealand. Administered by the Hutt City Council, it is one of the four cities that constitute the Wellington metropolitan area.
If considered a city it is New Zealand's sixth most populous, with a population of 112,500. The total area administered by the council is 376.4 km2 around the lower half of the Hutt Valley and along the eastern shores of Wellington Harbour, of which 78.53 km2 is urban. It is separated from the city of Wellington by the harbour, and from Upper Hutt by the Taita Gorge.
Lower Hutt is unique among New Zealand cities, as the name of the council does not match the name of the city it governs. Special legislation has since 1991 given the council the name "Hutt City Council", while the name of the place itself remains "Lower Hutt City".
