Wakari Hospital is a hospital located in Dunedin, New Zealand.

It is situated in the suburb of Wakari, about three kilometres north-west of the city centre. The hospital is operated by the Te Whatu Ora (formerly Southern District Health Board) and is closely associated with Dunedin Hospital.

It contains specialised psychiatric services but also cares for people with intellectual disability and people undergoing physical rehabilitation. It has units for forensic psychiatry, psychiatric emergency services, long- and short-term secure psychiatric units, Māori mental health, physical rehabilitation and increasingly community out-reach services such as public health and district nursing.
