Te Whakakitenga o Waikato (also called the House in English) is the governing council of the Waikato Tainui iwi in New Zealand. Members are elected for three year terms, with each of 68 marae electing two members.
The parliament was established by Tāwhiao of the Kīngitanga in 1889 or 1890 as Te Kauhanganui.
