Cable Bay is a settlement on the southern side of Doubtless Bay in Northland, New Zealand. State Highway 10 runs through it. It is one of the Taipa-Mangonui string of settlements, separated from Taipa on the west by the Taipa River and from Coopers Beach on the east by Otanenui Stream.
The name comes from the Pacific Cable Station which was a terminus of a telegraph cable running between New Zealand and British Columbia as part of the All Red Line. The station was established in 1902 and operated until the terminus was moved to Auckland in 1912.
