Fakahina, or Kaīna,[2] is a small atoll in the north of the Tuamotu group in French Polynesia.

The nearest land is Fangatau Atoll, located 72 km to the north-west.

The first recorded European to arrive to Fakahina Atoll was Otto von Kotzebue, sailing in the service of the Russian tsars, in 1824.

[3] At the beginning of the 20th century part of the population of Fakahina was moved to Puka-Puka to work in the production of copra.
