Taenga, or Taunga-hara, is one of the Tuamotu atolls in French Polynesia.

It is very difficult to enter on account of the currents and the very narrow pass.

[2] Taenga Atoll was first discovered by John Buyers on 10 March 1803 who named it "Holts Island" on the same day as he discovered Makemo atoll.

It was later rediscovered by Russian explorer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen in 1820.

Taenga Atoll belongs to the commune of Makemo, which consists of the atolls of Makemo, Haraiki, Marutea Nord, Katiu, Tuanake, Hiti, Tepoto Sud, Raroia, Takume, Taenga and Nihiru.
