Mokoia is a small settlement in south Taranaki, in the western North Island of New Zealand.

It is located on State Highway 3, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the east of Hāwera and about 17 km northwest of Patea.

[1][2] Mokoia is close to the site of Taiporohenui, a wharenui constructed in the 1850s between the Tangahoe and Manawapou rivers.

Two large fragments were recovered from the farm of Cecil Hawken by the Curator of the Wanganui Public Museum, George Marriner, and pieces taken from these are now held in collections all over the world.

[5][6] Mokoia was one of the areas where soldiers were given rehab farms after World War II.
