Karaitiana Takamoana (died 24 February 1879) was a Māori chief of Ngāti Kahungunu, and a New Zealand Member of Parliament for the Eastern Maori electorate.

[2] Takamoana was said to have been born in Wairarapa[3] to mother Te Rotohenga and father Tini-ki-runga.

[1] The missionary William Colenso christened him Karaitiana, and also taught him to read and write.

Around 1824, Takamoana was captured at Te Pakake pa and taken captive by Waikato forces who invaded the Mahia area, but was later released.

[1] After an unsuccessful attempt in 1868, Takamoana entered Parliament in 1871 as member for Eastern Māori, succeeding Tareha Te Moananui.
