The Strongman Mine was an underground coal mine north of Greymouth on the West Coast of New Zealand from 1938 to 2003.

On 19 January 1967, a gas explosion in the mine killed 19 miners.[1][2][3]

In 1994, the original mine was replaced by the Strongman 2 mine further up the Nine Mile valley. The Strongman 2 mine closed in 2003.[4]
