Rieko Ioane (born 18 March 1997) is a New Zealand rugby union player. He plays in the centre (and occasionally wing) position for the All Blacks and Māori All Blacks. He also plays in the New Zealand Sevens Team. He is the younger brother of Māori All Blacks and New Zealand Sevens player Akira Ioane.

Of Māori and Samoan descent, Ioane affiliates to the Te Whānau-ā-Apanui and Ngāpuhi iwi.

He was part of the New Zealand Sevens Team competing at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Ioane was called up to the senior New Zealand squad for the 2016 Rugby Championship, however he made his debut during the End of the year tour against Italy, scoring his first try for the All Blacks. Making his debut at the age of 19 makes him one of the youngest players to do so for New Zealand.
