Judea is a suburb of Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand's North Island. It is located on State Highway 2, east of Bethlehem.

The suburb was established as a European fortified settlement in 1864,[2] as part of an offensive against local Māori during the New Zealand Wars.[3] India Rebout, later as the Judea Redoubt and Huria Redoubt, was one of three fortified European forts in Tauranga.[4]

The local Huria Marae and Tamatea Pokaiwhenua meeting house is a tribal meeting place of the Ngāti Ranginui hapū of Ngāi Tamarawaho.[5][6]
