Tarāwhai was a Māori rangatira (chief) of the Te Arawa confederation of tribes in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand. He was the founding ancestor of the Ngāti Tarāwhai iwi and conquered Lake Ōkataina for them from Ngāti Kahuūpoko. Later, he was involved in a conflict with Ngāti Te Takinga, which ended in them being allowed to settle at Ruato on the south shore of Lake Rotoiti.
