Koutu is a suburb of Rotorua in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island. Koutu was originally a home for the people of Ngati Whakaue and Ngāti Uenukukopako and has been in existence since before the establishment of Rotorua Township.

It is located on the southwest shore of Lake Rotorua.

A new development of 58 houses, with 28 subsidised for rent, is expected to have tenants by the end of 2025.
