Mercury je skupina sedmi ostrovů v severovýchodní části Severního ostrova Nového Zélandu, asi 8 km od poloostrova Coromandel.
Hlavní ostrov skupiny ostrovů je Great Mercury (doslova „Obrovský Mercury”, též známý jako Ahuahu). Jedná se o jeden z prvních novozélandských ostrovů, který byl osídlen lidmi. Ostrov je vlastněn novozélandskými podnikateli Michaele Fayem a Davidem Richwhitem. V 10. letech 20. století na ostrově došlo ke kompletní eradikaci introdukovaných savců, především koček a krys.[1]

"This stunning true-color image provides a rare, cloud-free look at the island nation of New Zealand, including most of its North and South Islands. This scene was acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA’s Terra satellite, on October 23, 2002. New Zealand is situated in the South Pacific Ocean, roughly 2,000 km (1,250 miles) southeast of Australia. Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, is located on the southern tip of the North Island, looking across Cook Strait toward South Island."
