Pūrākaunui (formerly spelt Purakanui) is a small settlement in Otago, in the South Island of New Zealand. It is located within the bounds of the city of Dunedin, in a rural coastal area some 25 km (16 mi) to the north of the city centre.
Pūrākaunui lies close to the Pacific Coast to the east of Waitati and north of Port Chalmers, on a peninsula between Long Beach and the Pūrākaunui Inlet.[4] On the opposite shore of the inlet is the community of Osborne. Both settlements lie close to the Orokonui Ecosanctuary and the historic pā site of Mapoutahi (Goat Island).[5]
Noted former residents of Pūrākaunui include poet David Howard.[6]
Pūrākaunui should not be confused with the locale with the same name in The Catlins, some 100 km further south, which is home to the Purakaunui Falls , in the Pūrākaunui Bay Scenic Reserve on the Pūrākaunui River.
According to their oral history, Māori people grew sweet potatoes (kūmara) in coastal Otago, and their religious practice featured worship of the agricultural deity Rongo. Prior to 2021, Western archaeologists believed that the sweet potato failed to flourish in New Zealand south of Christchurch due to its unfavourable climate, forcing Māori in those latitudes to become (along with the Moriori of the Chatham Islands) the only Polynesian people who subsisted solely on hunting and gathering. However, a 2021 analysis of material excavated from Pūrākaunui revealed that sweet potatoes were grown and stored there during the 15th century, before the industry was disrupted by factors speculated to be due to the Little Ice Age. The researchers (from the University of Otago) urged future archaeologists to give more weight to accounts from indigenous oral history.[7]
Chief Taoka was based at a kāika (small settlement) near what is now Timaru. He had visited his nephew (some sources say cousin), Kāti Māmoe chief Te Wera, at the latter's pā, Huriawa, near the mouth of the Waikouaiti River. The two set out to visit another relative, Kapo, and while staying with him they began a heated argument. The argument developed into a fight, during which Te Wera killed Taoka's son.[citation needed]
Taoka returned to his kāika and summoned a war party which laid siege to Huriawa for a year without success. Taoka then moved his party south to attack Te Wera's chief ally, Pakihaukea, at Mapoutahi. Pakihaukea's guard was relaxed and Taoka struck, climbing the palisades in the dead of night and massacring the 250 people found within. So great was the carnage that the name Pūrākaunui (pū rākau nui, "large wood pile") refers to the sight of the bodies which had been piled in a huge heap outside the pā.[8]
Pūrākaunui is described by Statistics New Zealand as a rural settlement. It covers 2.84 km2 (1.10 sq mi),[2] and had an estimated population of 230 as of June 2023,[3] with a population density of 81 people per km2. It is part of the much larger Mount Cargill statistical area.[9]
Pūrākaunui had a population of 210 at the 2018 New Zealand census, an increase of 9 people (4.5%) since the 2013 census, and an increase of 18 people (9.4%) since the 2006 census. There were 93 households, comprising 108 males and 102 females, giving a sex ratio of 1.06 males per female.

Ethnicities were 94.3% European/Pākehā, 11.4% Māori, and 2.9% other ethnicities. People may identify with more than one ethnicity.
Although some people chose not to answer the census's question about religious affiliation, 67.1% had no religion, 22.9% were Christian and 1.4% had other religions.
Of those at least 15 years old, 57 (32.8%) people had a bachelor's or higher degree, and 21 (12.1%) people had no formal qualifications. The median income was $29,500, compared with $31,800 nationally. 30 people (17.2%) earned over $70,000 compared to 17.2% nationally. The employment status of those at least 15 was that 81 (46.6%) people were employed full-time, 24 (13.8%) were part-time, and 6 (3.4%) were unemployed.[10]
Pūrākaunui School is a full primary school serving years 1 to 8,[11] with a roll of 17 students as at February 2024.[12] The school celebrated its 125th jubilee in 1997.[13]
