Bulls (Māori: Pūru)[3] is a town in the Rangitikei District of New Zealand. It is in a fertile farming area at the junction of State Highways 1 and 3, 28 km (17 mi) northwest of Palmerston North. According to a June 2023 Statistics New Zealand estimate, Bulls has a population of 2,210 inhabitants.[2]

Recent marketing makes puns with the name, for example, "New Zealand gets its milk from Bulls" or the sign for the local police station "Const-a-bull".
