Ari'i-'Otare Teari'i-maeva-rua III Pomare (28 May 1871 – 19 November 1932) was the last Queen of the Tahitian island of Bora Bora from 1873 to 1888.
The third daughter of Prince Tamatoa-a-tu (Tamatoa V), King of Ra'iatea and Taha'a and Princess Moe-a-Mai, Ari'i-'Otare became the Queen of Bora Bora on the death of her aunt Princess Teari'i-maeva-rua I Pomare, Queen of Bora Bora. She married Prince Teri'i Hinoi-a-tua Pomare, chief of Hitia'a in Bora Bora on 9 January 1884 and was divorced in 1887. Ari'i-'Otare produced no children of her own, so adopted her two younger step daughters; Princess Rehu-rehu Tuheiava and Princess Itia Tuheiava.
She was deposed by the French on 19 March 1888 but remained the head of the royal house of Bora Bora until her death.
