Poraiti is a suburb on the western outskirts of the city of Napier, in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand's eastern North Island.

[3] For a long time it was a semi-rural locality on low hills, but has now been extended to include a new residential subdivision developed on the plain in the 2000s.

Te Poraiti, also known as Pa Poto, was a Māori pā belonging to Ngāti Hinepare on a small headland near the shore of Ahuriri Lagoon.

[4] For a long period of modern history Poraiti was a semi-rural locality on low hills west of Napier.

[5][6] When a new residential subdivision was developed on the former Lagoon Farm, west of Tamatea, in the 2000s, there was a debate over whether it should be named Parklands or Orotu.
