The New Zealand Nationally Significant Collections and Databases (NSDC) are government-funded biological and physical collections or databases that are considered important and significant to New Zealand.

They consist of living organisms such as the ICMP culture collection, preserved samples such as the Marine Benthic Biology Collection, and data-only such as the New Zealand Geomagnetic Database, many of the physical collections also have associated databases.

The NSDCs were established in 1992 during the breakup of DSIR and establishment of the Crown Research Institutes, they are currently funded at 19 million NZD per annum[1], though the SSIF infrastructure fund of MBIE[2].
