List of number-one singles in 1962 (New Zealand)

The following is a list of songs that reached number one on the New Zealand singles chart in 1962. Prior to the official establishment of a national chart in 1966, various publications and radio stations compiled their own lists. This list attempts to collate available information from these sources, acknowledging that it may not be definitive. Due to the lack of a single, universally recognized chart, the exact dates and durations at number one may vary depending on the source consulted. The information provided here reflects the best available research, but should be viewed with the understanding of the historical context and limitations in charting methodology of the time. It is important to note that the criteria for inclusion in these earlier charts may have differed from later official charts, potentially impacting the types of songs that reached the top spot.
