The Waikaia River is a river in New Zealand, a tributary of the Mataura River. The moderate sized Waikaia River rises in swamps and tussock land in the Umbrella Mountains to the east of the headwaters of the Pomahaka River and then flows south for 50 km through rugged native bush-clad hills and then from Piano Flat though farmed areas until it joins the Mataura River at Riversdale.
