Tauhara is a suburb and geothermal area of Taupō in the Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.
The area's main geographic feature, Mount Tauhara, is culturally significant to local hapū. It is privately owned but has a public walking track and viewing areas, with panoramic views over Lake Taupō, The tracks were closed in 2015 due to vandalism, but later reopened when the vandalism subsequently stopped.
In December 2018, the Taupō District Council reduced the speed limit on the main Tauhara Road from 70 km/h to 50 km/h.
