Pukalani is a census-designated place (CDP) in Maui County, Hawaiʻi, United States.

The western volcano-slope region of Haleakalā, including nearby Makawao and Kula, is referred to as Upcountry Maui by locals, and is one of the four major population centers on Maui (the other three being Kahului, Lahaina and Kīhei, all of which are at sea level).

[2] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 4.3 square miles (11.1 km2), all of it land.

Clouds form above and below the community on Haleakalā, leaving Pukalani sunny most of the time.

Pukalani is one of the few places besides Haleakala and Kula that one can view the northern, western, and eastern sides of Maui.
