Te Haupa Island, also known as Saddle Island, is an uninhabited island located in the Hauraki Gulf near the mouth of Mahurangi Harbour, Auckland Region, New Zealand. Named after Ngāti Pāoa chief Te Haupa, the island was traditionally used as a seasonal base for shark fishing. The island first became a reserve in 1951.
