thumb|right|300px|Paraparaumu Airport Paraparaumu is a town in the south-western North Island of New Zealand. It lies on the Kāpiti Coast, north of the nation's capital city, Wellington. It is also known to residents as Pram or Paraparam.
Like other towns in the area, it has a partner settlement at the coast called Paraparaumu Beach, which is directly opposite Kapiti Island. The two towns form part of the Kāpiti Coast District. Together with nearby Raumati Beach and Raumati South, Paraparaumu serves in part as a commuter town for people working in Wellington City and the wider Wellington metropolitan area. Inland behind Paraparaumu is the Maungakotukutuku area.
