Vogeltown is a hillside suburb of Wellington, New Zealand, on the eastern slopes of Brooklyn and overlooking Newtown. It is sometimes considered part of Mornington .

At the council review of suburb boundaries in the early 21st century, it nearly suffered absorption into adjacent suburbs.

The name Vogeltown derives from Julius Vogel, author, entrepreneur, and premier of New Zealand from April 1873 until July 1875. In 1867, Vogel married Mary Clayton, daughter of architect Sir William Clayton who gifted the couple with a Finnimore House. This house is still located at the top of Hutchison Road in Vogeltown. The estate has been subdivided several times.
