The 2007 Gisborne earthquake occurred under the Pacific Ocean about off the eastern coast of New Zealand's North Island at 8:55 pm NZDT on 20 December. The tremor had a Richter magnitude of 6.7 and maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (''Severe''), and affected the city of Gisborne, but was felt widely across the country from Auckland in the north to Dunedin in the south.〔(M 6.7, Gisborne, 20 December 2007 ).

While the earthquake was initially reported to have caused no deaths, an elderly woman in Gisborne suffered a heart attack and died shortly after the quake.〔(One dead, up to 20 injured after huge quake ), ''The New Zealand Herald'', 21 December 2007.〕
A number of buildings in central Gisborne were damaged. The central business district was closed off to allow building inspectors to assess buildings for damage; three buildings had collapsed. There were blackouts immediately after the earthquake hit.〔(Quake 6.8 magnitude hits east coast ), TVNZ, 21 December 2007.〕 The town clock stopped at 8:55pm.〔('Rattled Gisborne residents pick up the pieces after quake' ), 3News. 21 December 2007.
