Waitahuna is a small rural hamlet in the Otago region of New Zealand's South Island.

Another notable man-made feature is the Waitahuna River Suspension Bridge, built around 1905 or 1906.

The town was briefly a railway terminus, when a branch line from a junction in Clarksville with the Main South Line was opened to the town on 22 January 1877.

A little over two months later, the line was opened beyond Waitahuna to Lawrence and it went on to become the Roxburgh Branch.

Despite the line's closure, Waitahuna's goods shed and station building still stand at the site of the former railway yard, and are being restored by their owners.
