Tāmaki Māori are Māori iwi and hapū (tribes and sub-tribes) who have a strong connection to Tāmaki Makaurau (the Auckland region),[1] and whose rohe was traditionally within the region.

Among Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau (the Māori tribes of Auckland), also known as the Tāmaki Collective, there are thirteen iwi and hapū, organised into three rōpū (collectives),[2] however Tāmaki Māori can also refer to subtribes and historical iwi not included in this list.

Ngāti Whātua descend from the Māhuhu-ki-te-rangi waka, which landed north of the Kaipara Harbour.

[4] The Marutūāhu collective descends from the Tainui waka, and are based around the Hauraki Gulf.

The five iwi descend from the five sons of the ancestor Marutūahu.
