Whakahuihui "Hui" Vercoe PCNZM MBE (4 June 1928 – 13 September 2007) was an Anglican bishop in New Zealand.
He was also Bishop of Aotearoa from 1981, the first person to be elected to that position by the congregation rather than being appointed by the church hierarchy.
His father left the family soon after he was born, and he was raised by his mother and maternal grandfather, a Māori farmer, in a small earthen-floored shack (kauta).
He ministered to New Zealand forces in Malaya from 1961 to 1963, and the ANZAC Brigade in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969, and was chaplain at Burnham Military Camp from 1965 to 1971.
On Waitangi Day in 1990, the 150th anniversary of the Treaty, he complained in a speech attended by Dame Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu, Queen Elizabeth II, the Governor-General Paul Reeves, and Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer, that the promises made in the Treaty had not been honoured by The Crown.
A storm of controversy erupted in June 2004 when the New Zealand Herald reported his vision of a "world without gays".
After he stepped down, the office of Archbishop has been shared by the heads of the three tikanga, with William Brown Turei as Primate.
After a farewell ceremony at St Faith's Church in Rotorua on 14 September, his tangi (funeral) at Tōrere Marae was attended by over 40 Anglican bishops.
