Kaiwharawhara, formerly also known as Kaiwarra, is an urban seaside suburb of Wellington in New Zealand's North Island. It is located north of the centre of the city on the western shore of Wellington Harbour, where the Kaiwharawhara Stream reaches the sea from its headwaters in Karori. It is a largely commercial and industrial area and thus has little residential population. The 2001 New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings gave the suburb's resident population as merely 15. [http://www2.stats.govt.nz/domino/external/web/CommProfiles.nsf/FindInfobyArea/574500-au] A recent housing development in the area is expected to increase the resident population.

Kaiwharawhara contains some major transport infrastructure. Both State Highway 1 and the North Island Main Trunk Railway pass through Kaiwharawhara on their routes from central Wellington northwards. Just north of Kaiwharawhara Train Station, the Wairarapa Line (including the commuter Hutt Valley Line) diverges from the North Island Main Trunk Railway. Due to its waterfront location, Kaiwharawhara also has shipping activity, with the Wellington Interislander Ferry terminal located on the boundary of Kaiwharawhara and Pipitea.

In sport, Kaiwharawhara was previously represented in soccer by Waterside, a club formed by dock workers in 1921. In 1988, they merged with the Karori Swifts to form Waterside Karori AFC.
