Tāmaki Makaurau (ⓘ) is a New Zealand parliamentary Māori electorate returning one Member of Parliament to the New Zealand House of Representatives. The electorate covers central and southern Auckland, and southern parts of western Auckland. It was first formed for the 2002 election. Tāmaki Makaurau is a Māori-language name for Auckland.
The electorate was first held by the Labour Party's John Tamihere, for one term. It was held by Pita Sharples of the Māori Party for three terms from 2005 until his retirement in 2014.
