Maketu is a small town on the Western Bay of Plenty coast in New Zealand. It is located roughly from Paengaroa, from Te Puke, from Tauranga, from Rotorua and from Whakatāne.
Maketu has an estuary from which the Kaituna River used to flow, until 1956, when it was diverted to the Bay of Plenty, about upstream. It is also adjacent to Newdicks Beach located on the south eastern side of Okurei Point. The Waihi Estuary Wildlife Management Reserve is near Maketu.
