Judea is a suburb of Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand's North Island. It is located on State Highway 2, east of Bethlehem.
The suburb was established as a European fortified settlement in 1864, as part of an offensive against local Māori during the New Zealand Wars. India Rebout, later as the Judea Redoubt and Huria Redoubt, was one of three fortified European forts in Tauranga.
