Hawke Coachwork Limited was a New Zealand bus and coach body manufacturer.

Established in 1952 by brothers Haddon and Leslie Hawke, it was based on Great South Road, Takanini. It became a subsidiary of New Zealand Motor Corporation. In the late-1970s Australian bus manufacturer Pressed Metal Corporation acquired a minority stake in Hawke.^[1]

In 1983 Hawke merged with New Zealand Motor Bodies to form Coachwork International. The Takanini plant was retained, specialising in building and repairing buses for city authorities.^[2] As well as building bodies for New Zealand operators, Hawke completed buses for Singapore Bus Service.^[3]^[4]
