There are about 80 marae (Māori meeting grounds) in the Gisborne District of New Zealand. They include the marae of six iwi (tribes): Ngāti Porou, Te Aitanga-ā-Hauiti, Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui, Ngai Tamanuhiri and Rongowhakaata.
In October 2020, the Government committed $14,267,895 from the Provincial Growth Fund to upgrade 59 marae in the district, with the intention of creating 393.6 jobs.
