The Ngatiawa River is a river on the Kāpiti Coast of New Zealand's North Island that is a major tributary of the Waikanae River. Its headwaters are in the Tararua Range and it flows north and northwest through the Akatarawa Valley to Reikorangi, where it meets the Waikanae River.
A 27-metre-long Howe truss bridge was built across the river in 1912 and 1913. It collapsed in 2017.
