The Waingaro River is a river of the Tasman Region of New Zealand's South Island. It initially flows east down a straight valley from the eastern flanks of Mount Cobb before turning to flow generally north close to the eastern edge of Kahurangi National Park. Once it reaches the Takaka Plains it flows northeast to reach the Takaka River eight kilometres south of Takaka.
