Pahoia is a waterfront settlement in the Western Bay of Plenty District and Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island.

It includes a stretch of State Highway 2 that is a common crash site, due to windy roads, high speeds and heavy traffic.[3] The New Zealand Transport Agency has reduced speeds along the road following a series of crashes, including introducing a school speed zone outside Pahoia School.[4]

Pahoia Domain, a beach and park, is the base for a mud challenge fundraiser for Tauranga Boys' College rugby teams.[5] The course includes 6km of mudflats along the Pahoia waterfront.[6]
