Titahi Bay is a suburb of Porirua in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located at the foot of a short peninsula along the west coast of the Porirua Harbour, to the north of the Porirua city centre. The suburb's population is around 6000.

Notable residents of the suburb have included golfer Michael Campbell.

The area was settled by Maori for many years before the arrival of Europeans, and several pa sites are located nearby. The area was also the site of many inter-[iwi]] conflicts, notably in the 1820s, when the area was invaded by the followers of Te Rauparaha.
