The Owahanga River is a river in the Tararua District, in the Manawatū-Whanganui Region of New Zealand's North Island. Its tortuous course winds generally southeast through rough hill country, reaching the sea 30 km (19 mi) southwest of Cape Turnagain.
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "place of burden" for Ōwahanga.
