The Akatarawa River is a short river in the lower North Island of New Zealand.
It flows south for approximately 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.
