Radio Hauraki is a New Zealand rock music station that began in 1966 as a pirate radio station broadcasting from a ship in the Hauraki Gulf. It was the first private commercial radio station in New Zealand's modern broadcasting era, challenging the state-owned monopoly at the time. After operating illegally for several years, Radio Hauraki was granted a legal broadcasting license in 1970.

Today, Radio Hauraki is owned by NZME Radio and broadcasts nationwide, playing a mix of modern and classic rock music. The station targets adult listeners with its rock-focused format and irreverent on-air personalities. Key shows include the breakfast program with Matt Heath and Jeremy Wells, as well as "The Hauraki Big Show" afternoon drive show.

Radio Hauraki maintains its rebellious spirit from its pirate radio origins, positioning itself as an alternative to mainstream commercial radio in New Zealand. The station continues to be known for its rock music programming and edgy, humorous content aimed at adult listeners.
