| mapframe-zoom = 11 Cloverlea is a suburb of Palmerston North, New Zealand. The suburb is located in the north-western part of town. Its boundaries are currently between Rangitikei Line and Gillespies Line.

The suburb takes its name from the Cloverlea homestead and property built and developed by David Buick MP between 1881 and his death during the influenza pandemic of 1918. Mr Buick ran a successful horse stud in addition to farming sheep and cattle at Cloverlea. He was the Member of Parliament for Palmerston North from 1908 until his death in 1918. Cloverlea is located at 102 No 1 Line, Palmerston North 4475.

Under the Discharged Soldiers' Settlement Act 1915 the government purchased 273 acres from the Buick estate and allocated 15 sections by ballot held 5 November 1919 to servicemen and nurses returning from the First World War. The area was known as Cloverlea Soldier Settlement which over time contracted to Cloverlea. However, the area to which this Cloverlea refers is not the more recent suburban development located north east of Highbury, north west of Palmerston North Hospital Area and north of Takaro, but an area about Cloverlea Road which serviced the settlement.

The Mangaone Stream walkway runs along the edge of Cloverlea, it starts all the way in Milson and ends by the Manawatu River.

In 2018, the suburb had a resident population of 1,893.

Cloverlea is a part of the Palmerston North electorate.
