The Manuherikia River is located in Otago in the South Island of New Zealand.

It rises in the far north of the Maniototo, with the West Branch draining the eastern side of the St Bathans Range, and the East Branch draining the western flanks of the Hawkdun Range.

During the 1860s the Manuherikia was one of the centres of the Otago gold rush.

[1] The Māori spelling for the river is Manuherekia, meaning "at long last".
