Ngāti Rangi or Ngāti Rangituhia is a Māori iwi (tribe) of New Zealand. Contemporary settlement is mainly around Waiouru, Ohakune, and the Upper Whanganui River in the central North Island. The iwi's rohe (tribal area) of interest extends north from the Paretetaitonga peak of Mount Ruapehu, west to the Pukupuku Stream, east to the meeting of the Moawhango and Aorangi waterways, and south to the Haumakariri Stream. Ngāti Rangi trace their ancestry to Paerangi. They believe they were in New Zealand before the first migrations from Hawaiki.

In 2015, Ngāti Rangi entered into negotiations with the Crown to settle claims under the Treaty of Waitangi. A deed of settlement was signed in 2018 followed by the passing of the Ngāti Rangi Claims Settlement Bill -  Rukutia Te Mana in 2019. They also commenced negotiations with Genesis Energy in 2010 to manage and restore water flows in rivers from which water had been diverted for the Tongariro Power Scheme.

Ngāti Rangi have been a partner in the conservation programme Kiwi Forever hosting students on their marae to learn about the flora and fauna and tikanga Māori (Māori traditions). The iwi received funding from the Government’s Jobs for Nature programme in 2021 to tackle invasive plant and animal pests. The programme would be delivered by the iwi's company Ruapehu WorX.

Pepeha (tribal saying)

Ko Ruapehu te maunga

Ko Ngā Turi o Murimotu te maunga tapu

Ko Whangaehu te awa

Ko Ngāti Rangi te iwi
