Tauriko is a suburb of Tauranga, in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island.
According to Place Names of New Zealand by A. W. Reed and Peter Dowling, "Tauriko" is not a Māori name—the suburb was originally named Taurico after the Tauranga Rimu Company, with the spelling apparently altered to give the semblance of a Māori name.[2]
