Ohau B is a power station operated by Meridian Energy in the South Island of New Zealand.

It is a twin station with Ohau C and is part of the Waitaki hydro scheme which consists of eight power stations operated from a control centre near Twizel. Water from Lake Ruataniwha flows through Ohau B, then Ohau C and then through to Lake Benmore.
