Kihikihi is a small town located in the Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand. It is a satellite community of Te Awamutu, five kilometres to the north, and is 35 kilometres south of Hamilton.

The town's outer rim has now merged with the expanding rim of Te Awamutu, rendering the boundary between the two towns difficult to perceive.

"Kihikihi" means cicada in the Māori language. A large statue of a cicada stands at the northern entrance to the town.

Kihikihi's multi-purpose sports domain hosts national and international equestrian events such as the FEI Eventing World Cup.
