Cape Brett Peninsula is a peninsula on the northern North Island coast in New Zealand.[1] It is 15 kilometre-long, the head is Cape Brett.

A lighthouse stands at the end of the peninsula, which rises to 360 metres at its northern end. A noted landmark, the natural arch ('Hole in the Rock') of Piercy Island, lies two kilometres off the cape.

A predator proof fence has been erected across the peninsula to exclude the brushtail possum, an introduced animal pest, which feeds on the pōhutukawa tree to such an extent that the tree can eventually die.
