Kaitoke is a locality in the southern North Island of New Zealand. It is located above the northern end of the Hutt Valley, 40 kilometres northeast of Wellington and six kilometres from the northern end of Upper Hutt urban area. It lies close to the southern end of the Tararua Ranges.
The nearby Kaitoke Regional Park was the filming location for exterior shots of Rivendell for the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
The Hutt River has its source to the north of Kaitoke, and much of the land in the vicinity is used as a water supply reserve.
