The Upper Harbour Bridge (also called the Greenhithe Bridge) is a motorway bridge in west Auckland, New Zealand. It is technically two bridges, spanning an upper reach of the Waitematā Harbour, and connecting Hobsonville (in West Auckland) and Greenhithe (on the North Shore). It is an important connection for State Highway 18, and became even more important as a component of the Western Ring Route when the route was completed on 2 July 2017.

Greenhithe is a northwestern suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, located on the North Shore. Greenhithe was so named after a village on the River Thames, in Kent, named by Henry James Blyth, who settled there in 1882 and came from the original Greenhithe in England. Greenhithe comes from the Old English word 'hithe' or 'hythe', meaning wharf. The name is appropriate, since Greenhithe has a wharf onto Lucas Creek that leads into the estuaries of Auckland's Waitematā Harbour. In 2001 Greenhithe had a population of 4,170 according to the census. It showed dramatic growth after the North Shore City Council determined that it was to be a major growth area. Where once the typical section size was a quarter to half an acre, the newer subdivisions of Wainoni, Admiral's Court and others have reduced that to around 600m2 (with a quarter acre being a shade over 1000m2). Since 1 November 2010, Greenhithe has been under the governance of Auckland Council. Greenhithe includes the Wainoni area around Wainoni Park.Historically, Greenhithe extended from the Upper Harbour Bridge through to Wainoni Park in the north. New subdivisions have extended the urban boundaries through to "Greenhithe North", including the northern part of Kyle Rd and Schnapper Rock. Until a proposed bridge is built to join the two Kyle Rds, these areas may have more community affiliation with Albany. Greenhithe is bordered by Lucas Creek in the north and Hellyers Creek in the south. New Zealand Transport Agency completed the Upper Harbour Motorway through Greenhithe, in late 2007.
