Te Kawa is a rural community in the Ōtorohanga District and Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.[3] It lies just to the south of the volcanic hills of Kakepuku and Te Kawa.[4] Until the swamp was drained in the 1900s, Te Kawa was well known for its eels.[5]

Te Kawa railway station, a station on the North Island Main Trunk, was located in the area.[6][7] It operated from 9 March 1887 and closed 17 October 1971.[8][9]

A post office was open by 1909[10] and a dairy factory and a school existed in 1913.[11] Te Kawa Bridge over the Waipā opened in 1915.[12] A town hall opened in 1928.[13]

Te Whakaaro Kotahi Marae in Te Kawa is a meeting ground of the Ngāti Maniapoto hapū of Te Kanawa.[14] It includes a small building.[15]
