Waikare is a locality in Northland, New Zealand. The Waikare River flows from the Russell Forest past Waikare and into the Waikare Inlet, which leads into the Bay of Islands.
The population is largely of the Te Kapotai hapū and Ngāti Pare iwi.
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "rippling waters" for Waikare.
