Matahi is a rural valley in the Whakatāne District and Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island.

Rua Kenana Hepetipa, a Māori prophet, faith healer and land rights activist, established the settlement in 1910.

[6] By 1986, some descendants and followers of Rua returned to Matahi with young families to live closer to their marae and a traditional way of life.

[5] In 2010, Bay of Plenty man Pomare Mason was killed by his younger brother Whairiri Tamataonui Terewa in the valley, during an argument about the ownership of a home.

[9] In July 2016 a mother and four children went missing in Te Urewera protected area, and Lions Hut on Matahi Valley Road became the base for the search operation.
