Tepakiphasma ngatikuri is a stick insect of the family Phasmatidae, endemic to a single patch of forest near the northernmost tip of the North Island, New Zealand.

Nymphs of T. ngatikuri were first collected in Radar Bush, Te Paki Recreation Reserve, in December 2008.

[2] Radar Bush, a 65 ha forest remnant 9.5 km south-east of Cape Reinga, is home to several very localised Northland species such as the slight skink (Oligosoma levidensum) and Bartlett's rātā (Metrosideros bartlettii).

[2] Its most distinctive feature is its egg, which has a conical perforated cap, a structure seen on no other New Zealand stick insects but found in some overseas groups.

Because the species occurs in just one small location, making it extremely vulnerable to extinction from accidental fire or introduced predators, it has been classed as Nationally Critical under the Department of Conservation's Threat Classification System.
