King Ari'imate Teurura'i (1824 – 14 April 1874) was a member and founder of a Polynesian royal family (House of Teurura'i) which reigned on the Tahitian island of Huahine and Mai'ao during the 19th century. In Tahitian, his name translates as "sovereign-demised" and "the-sky-forest" respectively.[1]

He was installed as king of Huahine in 1852 until his deposition in 1868.[2]
