Adrian Paki Rurawhe (born 1961)[3] is a New Zealand Labour Party politician. He has been an MP since 2014, and the speaker of the New Zealand House of Representatives from 2022 to 2023.
Rurawhe held the seat for the Te Tai Hauāuru Māori electorate from 2014 to 2023. Due to the demands of being speaker, he did not contest the electorate in the 2023 election, but returned to Parliament at number 11 on Labour's party list.
