Whangaparāoa is an electorate in the New Zealand House of Representatives. It was first created for the 2020 New Zealand general election and is represented by Mark Mitchell of the National Party; Mitchell had previously been the representative for the now abolished Rodney electorate.

The electorate is located on the northern fringe of the Auckland metropolitan area, in the former Rodney District. It is centred on the Whangaparāoa Peninsula, and more broadly the Hibiscus Coast. It also extends south to include Dairy Flat, Coatesville, Paremoremo and some of the suburb of Albany, reaching the northern coast of the Waitematā Harbour.^[1]

Whangaparāoa was created in the 2019/20 electoral redistribution. Rapid population growth in the area necessitated the splitting of the former Rodney electorate, with the northern section around Warkworth being incorporated into the new Kaipara ki Mahurangi electorate, and the rest of the electorate becoming Whangaparāoa.^[2][3] A section around Coatesville and Dairy Flat was added from the former electorate of Helensville to bring the new electorate into quota tolerance.^[3]

The electorate is reasonably safe for National, with the final MP for Rodney Mark Mitchell transferring to the seat upon its creation.
