Ngāti Te Whatuiāpiti, Ngāti Te Whatu-i-āpiti or Ngāi Te Whatuiāpiti is a Māori hapū (subtribe or branch) of the Ngāti Kahungunu iwi in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.[1][2]
The hapū were descended from Te Whatu-i-Āpiti, who was a great-grandson of Taewhā, himself a son of Rakaihikuroa and his second wife. Ngāi Whatuiāpiti had a fierce rivalry with Ngāi Te Upokoiri, which was descended from Taraia, a son of Rakaihikuroa and his first wife. Rakaihikuroa was the grandson of Kahungunu.[2]
