Ngāti Te Kanawa is an iwi based in the Taumaranui region of New Zealand's North Island. It is one of the forty main hapu of the Ngāti Maniapoto confederation, which came into existence around 1860.

Ngāti Te Kanawa trace their whakapapa to the tupuna (ancestor) Te Kanawa, who was the great-great-great grandson of the tupuna Maniapoto and comes off Uruhina (daughter of Rungaterangi and Pareraukawa).

The families who carry the name Te Kanawa today have a direct blood line whakapapa to the tupuna Te Kanawa of Ngāti Te Kanawa and whakapapa back to Te Kanawa Pango.
