Nuhaka is a small settlement in the northern Hawke's Bay Region of New Zealand's eastern North Island, lying on State Highway 2 between Wairoa and Gisborne.
Nuhaka is the tribal centre of the Rakaipaaka people, a Maori subtribe of Ngati Kahungunu. There are eight different marae serving Nuhaka and its surrounding communities, including the master carved Kahungunu Marae, a war memorial carved under the tutelage of Pine Taiapa.
Nuhaka has one general store, a fish and chip shop, a local garage and a paua factory. It also has a substantial and well supported meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
