Whangape Harbour (Māori: Whangapē) is a harbour on the west coast of Northland, New Zealand. There is a settlement called Whangape on the northern side of the harbour. Another, called Pawarenga, is located on the southern side.[1][2] Kaitaia is 42 km north east.[3]

The harbour is a narrow valley from the confluence of the Awaroa and Rotokakahi Rivers through hills to the Tasman Sea.[4] The harbour entrance is treacherous.[3] The Herekino Harbour and settlement are a few kilometres to the north, and the Hokianga is to the south and east.[1]
