Goat Island or Te Hāwere-a-Maki is a tiny island in New Zealand located close to the North Island coast, north of Auckland, northeast of Warkworth, and directly west of Little Barrier Island. It is within Cape Rodney-Okakari Point Marine Reserve, New Zealand's first marine reserve. The island is spiritually significant to the local Māori tribe, Ngāti Manuhiri, because their ancestral waka , Moe Karaka, is said to have landed nearby.As well as being in a marine reserve, Goat Island is a scenic reserve.

Prime Minister Helen Clark launched the national and international campaign to raise funds for the SPCMS at Leigh on 21 June 2008. Takangaroa is another island in the same area which used to be known as Goat Island.
