Mangateretere is a rural community in the Hastings District and Hawke's Bay Region of New Zealand's North Island.

[1] 1,253 acres (507 ha) of this constituted the Mangateretere West Block which the Native Lands Court granted to Māori owners (including Karaitiana Takamoana) in 1866, and most of which were subsequently leased to a local farmer.

[3] Ownership of the blocks passed to the local farmer about 1869 in what appears to be a transaction where not all parties gave informed consent.

Before the 2023 census, the statistical area had a smaller boundary, covering 37.22 km2 (14.37 sq mi).

[9] Mangateretere School (also called Te Kura o Mangateretere) is a co-educational state full primary school providing education for years 1–8,[10] with a roll of 34 as of November 2024.
