Urban Māori are Māori people living in urban areas outside the rohe (traditional tribal lands) of their iwi (tribe) or hapū (sub-tribe). The 2013 New Zealand census showed that 84% of Māori in New Zealand lived in urban areas, 25% lived in Auckland,[1] and most others lived in other metropolitan centres like Wellington and Christchurch. Many Māori continued to associate with their iwi and their rohe, but more than 15% did not know their tribal affiliation.[1]

Urban Māori associations include Ngāti Ākarana in Auckland, Ngāti Poneke in Wellington, and Ngāti Rānana in London.
