Tangoio is a farming locality and beach 23 kilometres north of Napier, 7 kilometres north of Whirinaki and 7 kilometres south-west of Waipatiki Beach in the Hawke's Bay Region of New Zealand's North Island. The locality is on the flat along Te Ngarue Stream and State Highway 2. It is part of Hastings District. Tangoio has been the official name since it replaced Tongoio in 1930. Near Tangoio Beach is Whakaari Headland, the site of a whaling station in the 1840s and a Māori canoe landing reserve.
