Ngāti Hine is an iwi with a rohe in Northland, New Zealand. The iwi is descended from a female ancestor, Hineamaru, a great granddaughter of Rāhiri who settled in the Waiomio Valley, near Kawakawa. It is part of the wider Ngāpuhi iwi, but wished to withdraw from Te Runanga-a-Iwi o Ngapuhi charitable trust (but not from Ngāpuhi) in 2010. The chair of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Hine was Te Waihoroi Shortland, as of July 2014. The prominent leader in the early years of European contact was Te Ruki Kawiti.
Ngāti Hine FM broadcasts to Ngāti Hine and the wider Ngāpuhi iwi. It broadcasts on 99.1 FM and 99.6 FM in Whangarei.
