Bishopdale is a residential suburb located in the north of Christchurch, New Zealand. It lies close to Christchurch International Airport at Harewood and Christchurch's zoo, Orana Park.

Bishopdale is overall a middleclass suburb, with a wide range of people living in the area. Most of the houses were built in the 1960s, and are either brick or wood, single story designs. The area boasts a lot of parks and recreational areas, and a small shopping mall. The main schools in the area are Bishopdale Primary, Isleworth Primary, Harewood Primary, Cotswold Primary, and Breens Intermediate. All have generous areas of landscaped park ground.

Bishopdale also has a library and many churches, including Presbyterian, Jehovah's Witnesses and Roman Catholic.

The suburb is named after the Bishop family, who bought land in the area c. 1858.
