The Kawakawa River is a river of the Northland Region of New Zealand's North Island. It flows predominantly east, its estuary forming part of the Veronica Channel at the southern end of the Bay of Islands.
The river is tidal up to the town of Kawakawa. The name changes to the Waiomio Stream, the Otiria Stream and the Waiharakeke Stream.
The longest wooden railway bridge in the Southern Hemisphere crosses the river at Taumarere as part of the Bay of Islands Vintage railway.
