Greenmeadows is a suburb of the city of Napier, in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand's eastern North Island. It is part of the Taradale ward of Napier and was part of the earlier Taradale Borough.

Greenmeadows was purchased in 1857 from the government by Henry Stokes Tiffin and brothers Henry and George Allen. They used it as a sheep run. The name Greenmeadows comes from the presence of danthonia grass in the area.

Anderson Park, used from 1886 to 1960 by the Napier Park Racing Club, is now a passive recreation park.

Greenmeadows covers 2.91 km (1.12 sq mi) and had an estimated population of 5,520 as of June 2024, with a population density of 1,897 people per km.
