The Tukipo River is a river of the southwest Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand's North Island. It flows east from its origins in the Ruahine Range to reach the Tukituki River west of Waipukurau.
History
The river has cultural significance to Ngāti Kahungunu. The ancestor Hikarerepari first settled in the area, and his great-grandson Te Whatuiapiti constructed the pā Pōhatunui-a-Toru in the upper reaches of the river.
