Kelso is an abandoned small settlement in Otago, New Zealand, located ten kilometres north of Tapanui on the Crookston Burn, close to its junction with the larger Pomahaka River. Its population during the 1960s and 1970s was close to 300, with most of its economy based on sheep farming. A small dairy factory was a focal point in the village's early years. The township was first surveyed in 1875, and the first settlement began the following year. It was named by John Turnbull Thomson for the Scottish home town of one of the town's first settlers, James Logan.
