Henare Matua (c.1838–1894) was a New Zealand tribal leader, reformer and politician. Of Māori descent, he identified with the Ngati Kahungunu iwi. He was born in Nukutaurua, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.[1]

He stood in the 1879 by-election for Eastern Maori, coming second (not third). He was seen by some as the "Government candidate" and a leader of the "Repudiation" faction.[2] [3]
