Waitiki Landing is a locality near the northern tip of New Zealand's North Island, in the Far North district of Northland. Located on State Highway 1, it is 20 kilometres from the end of the highway at Cape Reinga.
It has a general store, petrol/diesel refueling station, cafe, commercial holiday park, electric vehicle charging station and airstrip, all of which are the northernmost in New Zealand. The airstrip is used by Salt Air for excursions from the Bay of Islands to Cape Reinga. The petrol station and general store burnt down on 8 October 2011 and were rebuilt and reopened on 22 December 2011.
A side-road runs eastward from Waitiki Landing to Te Hāpua, the northernmost settlement in New Zealand. Five kilometres north-west on the highway, another side-road leads south-west to Te Paki Sand Dunes, beside Ninety Mile Beach.
