The Ākitio River is in the North Island of New Zealand. It flows generally southeast for 35 kilometres (22 mi), entering the Pacific Ocean at Ākitio to the south of Cape Turnagain on the east coast.

In July 2020, the name of the river was officially gazetted as Ākitio River by the New Zealand Geographic Board.

Cyclone Gabrielle caused the mouth of the river to move.
