Mangaore is a small town in the district of Horowhenua, in the southwestern North Island of New Zealand. It is located 4 kilometres southeast of Shannon.

Mangaore Reserve is a park with several sections, one containing Mangaore Hall, and another with walking tracks in an area called "Snake Gully".[3] The hall is run by a local residents association, and can hold up to 200 people.[4]

The town was the headquarters for the construction of the Mangahao Power Station in 1919–1924.[5]
