God’s Own Country, often abbreviated to Godzone or less often Godzown, is a phrase that has been used for more than 100 years by New Zealanders to describe their homeland. It has subsequently been adopted by some other countries, notably Australia, but this has declined as the phrase has become increasingly associated with New Zealand^{[citation needed]}. In recent years the phrase has been adopted as a slogan by the tourism department of the Kerala state government in India.

The phrase found sporadic use prior to the 1890s to describe several American regions. It was used by the Confederate army to describe parts of Tennessee in the 1860s. The phrase was also used to describe California in the 1860s, and by Clement Laird Vallandigham to describe the land of the Mississippi plains None of these remained a widely used to describe a region, though it is still occasionally used to describe the United States overall.

Before its American usages, the expression had been used to describe the Wicklow Mountains of Ireland by Edward du Bois under the pseudonym "A Knight Errant" in 1807, and in a poem describing the English county of Surrey in 1839. The phrase was also used in its more literal meaning to refer to Heaven, in a poem by Elizabeth Harcourt Rolls Mitchell in 1857.
