Concord is a small residential suburb of the New Zealand city of Dunedin. It is southwest of the city centre.^[3] It lay on State Highway 1 until the construction of the Dunedin Southern Motorway in the 1990s, but is now bypassed by traffic from central Dunedin. The former Main South Road is now largely reduced to a narrow one-way street leading down from Lookout Point, virtually a long slip-road from the start of the motorway, though it is still two-way through Concord itself, and serves (along with Stevenson Road, which it becomes) as an important link road to Corstorphine and Calton Hill.

Concord covers 1.16 km² (0.45 sq mi)^[1] and had an estimated population of 1,580 as of June 2024,^[2] with a population density of 1,362 people per km².
