Hōhepa Te Umuroa (1820? – 19 July 1847) was a notable New Zealander and political prisoner. Of Māori descent, he identified with the Te Ati Haunui-a-Paparangi iwi.

The story of Te Umuroa's capture and subsequent transportation and imprisonment in Tasmania for insurrection is told in The Trowenna Sea by Witi Ihimaera and the 2012 opera Hōhepa composed by Jenny McLeod. Te Umuroa died of tuberculosis in Tasmania, and was buried on Maria Island. His remains were repatriated to Whanganui, New Zealand in 1988.
