The Te Pōrere Redoubts are historic fortifications of the New Zealand Wars, located at Te Pōrere, to the southwest of the current site of Tūrangi, in New Zealand. Built by the Māori warrior Te Kooti and his Ringatū followers in September 1869, the following month they were the site of the Battle of Te Pōrere, between Te Kooti's forces and those of the New Zealand colonial government's Armed Constabulary and Māori aligned with the government—known as kūpapa. It was abandoned after the battle. The site of the redoubts, which were restored after it was designated as a National Historic Place in February 1961, is administered by Heritage New Zealand.
