Ngāti Hine is an iwi with a rohe in Northland, New Zealand. It is part of the wider Ngāpuhi iwi. Ngāti Hine is descended from a female ancestor, Hineamaru, a great granddaughter of Rāhiri who settled in the Waiomio Valley, near Kawakawa. The prominent leader in the early years of European contact was Te Ruki Kawiti (1770s–1854).

Ngāti Hine wished to withdraw from Te Runanga-a-Iwi o Ngapuhi charitable trust (but not from Ngāpuhi) in 2010. The chair of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Hine was Te Waihoroi Shortland, as of July 2014.Ngāti Hine FM broadcasts to Ngāti Hine and the wider Ngāpuhi iwi on 99.1 FM and 99.6 FM in Whangarei.
