Te Awa is a suburb of the city of Napier, in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand's eastern North Island.
The suburb consists of a mix of 1920s small railway workers' houses which survived the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake, Art Deco homes built during the 1960s and 1970s, and twenty-first century subdivisions.{{cite news |title=Once seen as a small suburb, Te Awa has started to take off |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12209012 |agency=Hawke's Bay Today |publisher=New Zealand Media and Entertainment |date=4 March 2019}}
