Waka is an unincorporated community in western Ochiltree County, Texas, United States.

[5] The community, initially named Wawaka, was founded by German settlers in 1885, and its post office was opened in 1901.

When another community, Burnside, was platted along the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway 3 miles (5 km) away, Wawaka's residents and its postmaster moved to Burnside; the community was renamed Waka in 1921, two years after the Wawaka residents moved, but the post office remained "Wawaka" for six years.

Residents were encouraged to use the postal services in Farnsworth or in Perryton.
