Mangatangi is a locality about 7 km east of Mangatāwhiri and 10.5 km west of Miranda in the Waikato District in the North Island of New Zealand.
Mangatangi Reservoir in the Hunua Ranges to the north was created by the Mangatangi Dam, a rolled earth water supply dam built in the 1970s. The Mangatangi River flows south from the reservoir to become the Maramarua River.
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "Stream of Weeping" for Mangatangi.
The Mangatangi Hall on Kaiaua Road was opened in 1940 and extended in 1960. It contains the Mangatangi-Miranda roll of honour for local people who fought in the Second World War.
