Waikanae (, ) is a town on the Kāpiti Coast, north of the Wellington, New Zealand. The name is a Māori word meaning "waters" (wai) "of the grey mullet".

The area surrounding the town is notable for its beach, the Waikanae River estuary, the Kapiti Marine Reserve, and Kapiti Island, which lies offshore in the Tasman Sea. The town is considered one of the top retirement destinations in the Wellington Region, because of it having year-round mild temperatures, moderate rainfall, and less wind than Wellington.
