Kekerengu (Māori pronunciation: [ˈkɛkɛrɛŋʉ]) is a settlement in northern Kaikōura District, Canterbury, South Island.

The locality is named for Te Kēkerengū, a chief of the Ngāti Ira hapū who was slain in the region alongside his mother and followers.

Tetley expanded the station into a village, but fled to Uruguay in 1868 to avoid massive debts.

[2] In 1859, Joseph Tetley purchased an 80-acre plot along the Kekerengu River from Frederick Trolove, where he built a homestead.

It featured a schoolhouse, chapel, graveyard, expanded traveller's accommodations, and a post and telegraph office.

[3] The station alternated between various owners over the following decades, and is still in use under the name of Kekerengu Valley Farm.
