Paraire Karaka Paikea (1 June 1894–6 April 1943) was a New Zealand politician who captured the Ratana Movement's third Māori seat of Northern Māori from Taurekareka Henare in 1938. He was Minister without portfolio representing the Māori race from 1941 to 1943 and was also Māori Recruiting Director on the War Administration Board. Known as "Piri Wiri Tua", after Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana, his early death ended a promising career. He was succeeded as MP by his son Tapihana Paraire Paikea.
