Sir Maui Wiremu Pita Naera Pomare (1875 or 1876 – 27 June 1930) was a New Zealand doctor and politician, being counted among the more prominent Maori political figures.
He is particularly known for his efforts to improve Maori health and living conditions.
However, Pomare's career was not without controversy: he negotiated the effective removal of the last of Taranaki Maori land from its native inhabitants - some 18,000 acres - in a move which has been described as the "final disaster" for his people.
He was a member of the Ngati Mutunga iwi originally from North Taranaki; he later lived in Wellington and the Chatham Islands after the 1835 invasion.
