Te Toiokawharu is a hill in the Waitākere Ranges of the Auckland Region of New Zealand's North Island.

Geologically, Te Toiokawharu and the upper Huia and Karamatura stream valleys are formed of Miocene-era breccia rock formation.

[11] The hill was recognised as the highest point of the Waitākere Ranges in the early 1940s, when city waterworks engineer AD Mead located and measured the height of Te Toiokawharu.

[13] The name Te Toiokawharu, "The Peak of Kawharu", references the giant Waikato Tainui warrior Kāwharu, who together with Ngāti Whātua attacked the Waitākere Ranges settlements in the late 17th century.

[14] The name was chosen by Wiremu Paora and Rangitutahi of Ngāti Whātua in the 1941, descendants of Kāwharu who were consulted by the New Zealand Geographical Board.
