Rotokauri is a semi-rural locality in Waikato District in New Zealand.

The outskirts of Rotokauri have an impressive orchid farm, all under glass, exporting blooms across the world, and providing ample local employment.

The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "kauri tree lake" for Rotokauri.
