The Blue Baths is a geothermal bathhouse in Rotorua, North Island, New Zealand, designed by architect John Mair in the Spanish Mission Revival style. Built in 1932 to replace an earlier bathhouse that had occupied the Government Gardens site since 1886, the structure represents an enduring expression of the region's thermal heritage. Listed as a Category 1 Historic Place by Heritage New Zealand, the building reflects the architectural sophistication of interwar spa design, though seismic assessment in 2021 revealed significant structural vulnerabilities, leading to its closure to the public.
