Ngāti Mahuta is a sub-tribe (or hapu) of the Waikato tribe (or iwi) of Māori in the North Island of New Zealand.
Ngāti Mahuta is descended from Mahuta, whose father was Hekemaru.[1] Mahuta's paternal grandparents were Pikiao from the Te Arawa tribe, and Rereiao, a high-born Waikato woman descended from Whatihua.[2] Kaitotehe and nearby Mount Taupiri on the Waikato River were Ngāti Mahuta's headquarters in early years.[2] Pōtatau Te Wherowhero, the paramount chief of Ngāti Mahuta in his time, became the first Māori king.
