Te Uri-o-Hau (sometimes spelt Te Uri O Hau[2] or Te Uriohau[3][4]) is a Māori iwi (tribe) based around New Zealand's Kaipara Harbour.[5] It is both an independent iwi and a hapū (sub-tribe) of the larger Ngāti Whātua iwi, alongside Ngāti Whātua-o-Ōrākei, Te Roroa and Te Taoū.[6] Its rohe (tribal area) includes Dargaville, Maungaturoto, Mangawhai, Kaiwaka and Wellsford.[7]
According to the 2018 New Zealand census, about 1,314 people affiliate with the iwi.[1][8] This compares to 732 in 2001, 1,074 in 2006, and 1,260 in 2013.[9]
