Matapouri (Māori: Matapōuri) is a coastal settlement in the Whangarei District of Northland, New Zealand.

Matapouri was described by Whangarei District Council in 2010 as "an archetypal Kiwi bach settlement".

[9] The early European settlement of Matapouri was based on the milling and transport of timber.

[10] Te Wai o Te Taniwha, the Mermaid Pools, was an informal tourist attraction, but was closed indefinitely in 2019 by the local Māori authorities, Te Whanau ā Rangiwhakaahu Hapū Trust, due to visitors leaving toilet waste and rubbish.

The results were 76.8% European (Pākehā); 37.7% Māori; 7.2% Pasifika; 1.4% Asian; 1.4% Middle Eastern, Latin American and African New Zealanders (MELAA); and 2.9% other, which includes people giving their ethnicity as "New Zealander".

[17] Matapōuri Marae is a meeting ground for Ngāti Rehua, Ngāti Toki-ki-te-Moananui of Ngātiwai, and Te Whānau a Rangiwhaakahu of Te Āki Tai.

[20] The present Matapouri Hall, based on a Keith Hay Homes design, was constructed on site in the 1970s.

The hall has hosted organisations such as the Women's Institute as well as providing a place for church services, polling booths, social gatherings, New Years gala and other community events throughout the years.
