The Akatarawa River is a short river in the lower North Island of New Zealand.
It flows south for approximately 20 km (12 mi) through small rocky gorges and the Akatarawa Valley before joining the Hutt River at Birchville, a suburb in the northern end of Upper Hutt. Its waters ultimately reach Wellington Harbour, and then flow out into Cook Strait.
