Waikokopu is a small coastal settlement in northern Hawke Bay, New Zealand, where the Waikokopu stream forms a small tidal estuary between two prominent headlands. The name Waikokopu translates from Māori as "waters" (wai) of the " kokopu" 1, the kokopu being any one of three species of small native fresh-water fish. Waikokopu is about 40 km east of Wairoa, the principal town in northern Hawke Bay.
