Ngāti Kahungunu ki Te Wairoa is a tribal division within the Māori iwi (tribe) of Ngāti Kahungunu in New Zealand's Hawke's Bay Region.[2] It consists of a number of hapū (sub-tribes) located within a rohe (tribal area) south of the Wharerata Ranges at Poverty Bay, including the modern day Wairoa District.[2][3]

Ngāti Kahungunu ki Te Wairoa is the most northern of the six divisions within the tribe, and one of three main tribal divisions.[2] The others, from north to south, are Ngāti Kahungunu ki Te Whanganui-a-Orotu, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Heretaunga, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Tamatea, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Tamakinui a Rua and Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa.[3]
