Ngāti Korokī Kahukura is a Māori iwi of the Maungatautari area of the Waikato in New Zealand.[1] It was formed by the coming together of two related hapū, Ngāti Korokī and Ngāti Kahukura. It has historic affiliations with Ngāti Raukawa (Ngati Korokī) and Ngāti Hauā (Ngāti Kahukura) – some members identify as Ngāti Raukawa. It is associated with the Tainui canoe.[2]

Its primary marae is Maungatautari, on the north side of the Mount Maungatautari. Its secondary marae, Pōhara, on the south side of the mountain, is the host of a poukai, one of the annual hui of the Kīngitanga.
