Pākuratahi River

The Pākuratahi River, previously the Pakuratahi River, is a river of the Wellington Region of New Zealand's North Island. It flows northwest from its source in the Remutaka Range 15 km east of Lower Hutt to join the Te Awa Kairangi / Hutt River near Kaitoke.

In December 2019, the approved official geographic name of the river was gazetted as "Pākuratahi River".

The river formed part of a trail used by Māori linking Wellington Harbour and the Wairarapa over the Remutaka Range.
