Tauriko is a suburb of Tauranga, in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island.

According to Place Names of New Zealand by A. W. Reed and Peter Dowling, "Tauriko" is not a Māori name—the suburb was originally named Taurico after the Tauranga Rimu Company, with the spelling apparently altered to give the semblance of a Māori name.

The statistical area was extended for the 2023 census as Tauranga's boundaries expand.

[4] Before the 2023 census, the suburb had a smaller boundary, covering 4.82 km2 (1.86 sq mi).

The percentage of people born overseas was 10.2, compared with 27.1% nationally.
