The Waitati River is a river in New Zealand, flowing into the Pacific Ocean at Blueskin Bay, north of Dunedin. The Dunedin Northern Motorway follows the valley of the Waitati between the Leith Saddle and Waitati. The river flows through the town of Waitati before discharging into the Orokonui Lagoon, an estuary of Blueskin Bay.
